Pretty sure your workplace could have you fired if you allowed someone else access to your account

    A lot of workplace payroll systems are outsourced to companies like Workday, Quickbooks, or ADT. It wouldn't involve going through company IT. Just access to 3rd party payroll services who are probably selling access through APIs.

    And through which I can see the names of everyone else working at the company along with whatever info they decided to put there.

    It's also SSO so to get into my workday account you need my AD password which lets you access just about everything internal because most of that is also SSO

    This sounds fake. I mean... I guess it is plausible, but dude. It can't be, we have landed in this dystopia already.

    404 Media is usually pretty good with their reporting. They lean left, as most decent media does, but they have been fairly trustworthy in my experience reading their news stories.
