In my line of work, I see this a lot (both expired and using a cert on a subdomain the cert isn't valid for). It gets really difficult trying to balance security with the needs of the business when employees are begging me to whitelist the site so it isn't blocked by the corporate proxy but I really don't want to whitelist invalid certificates. That sets a bad precedent.

There really should be another way that doesn't involve SSL certificates.
