My project is up and running as usual. Meetings are switching to virtual - this is challenging for a lot of the workshops that we had planned but we’re working on solving.

Shutting down is not in anyone’s best interest - the firm still has huge fixed costs regardless of whether or not it’s operating (eg building leases), and nobody wants to stop getting paid.

I've been working at this company for about 3.5 weeks now. Its been great so far.

We have an org chart in our dashboard ATS/HRIS and so I clicked on my first day buddies name just for fun.

I was able to see her entire employee file..even her address. I was really freaked out and I went to another profile and the same thing happened, I was able to see this person's emergency contact. Is this fucking normal? Should I say something and will I get in trouble for looking at a colleagues file?
