So we're in the middle of relocating. Next week is our last week at the current office, then we're off to San Diego.
Not everyone was asked to relocate (in other words, some people are being laid off). Today I heard a couple of the people who aren't relocating talking about how HR accidentally sent them personal information regarding people who are relocating (like salary and relocation benefits). I asked HR why they released that info since that seems weird to me, specially to JUST the non-relocating people. They reply back with "what are you talking about?"
That put me in an awkward position since now I have to ask the non-relocating people about what I overheard them talking about. I know one of them a bit closely and I asked him about it. Turns out they were mistaken and the file was just some template with fake information. I had to then tell HR "lol ooops jk" basically. HR did admit they weren't supposed to send out that template, but regardless the template does not actually contain anyone's real information.
Well I felt like an idiot.Â
