Rest api test task

Brief

We need an api for tracking empoyees in multiple organizations. Each organization has

name
departments.

Departments have

names
employees.

Employees have basic personal information and status.

Status is basically a role of an employee inside that department (e.g. manager, developer, boss, etc). To change status title(e.g. 'manager') to a different one (e.g. 'Human resources manager') I should update Status entity and see updated value for all employees that are related to this entity.

When I get organizations list I want to receive:

all organization fields
departments count
total employees count

Departments:

all dep. fields
total count
total employees count for each department

Employee:

all fields
