The worst part of the left one is the implication they have only two passwords. The “under the keyboard” part at least requires physical access and (hopefully) means its not something stupid or short like “p@ssw0rd”.
This is why passphrases are better than passwords. So the “Under the keyboard” can be used as password. It has 3 out of the 4 types to match complexity and plentiful for length. And so much easier ro remember. It could be also a quote from your favorite movie or book, part of a lyric of your favorite song, etc.

That’s fine at home. Not so great in an office, though
I agree, but if I had to choose between someone reusing passwords and someone who kept them under the keyboard I’d probably choose the latter
You can’t fit that many post-it notes under the keyboard though, so if they’re doing the latter they’re probably doing the former
I have yet to see a sticky note password that was anywhere near NIST compliant lol.
