I would like to see only active records in the Manage Employees and Manage Projects sections as I am getting all the archived records shuffled with active records and have to scroll or filter every time I go to the page.

Having 10 active projects I have to also deal with over 70 archived and select the relevant data every time I open the page.

Of course this may affect other people so better solution would be to provide a kind of "default filter" setting per user for those sections so that every user could set it up as appropriate.

This may also be useful for other areas of the system where old/archived records are involved.
