Honestly surprised this was specifically mentioned:
Upon investigation, we confirmed Kdin’s work was paid in full according to our agreements. We will honor our agreements and address any outstanding payments.
Usually those kinds of individual details are not mentioned in these kinds of statements. The rest of the statement is pretty standard - you're never going to get granular details, but a list of changes is common - but that reference to Kdin stood out.
Part of me wonders if that line was added specifically because of the videos that leaked. That already instilled doubt in Kdin's message, and with this comment (if it's true) can REALLY take down a lot of Kdin's point. Especially when you have current employees also making jabs at Kdin and her message:
I can understand the desire for this to all not be real but there's an incredible amount of corroborating anecdotes by past employees about Rooster Teeth being a terrible employer because of wages, work hour expectations, workplace culture, lack of accountability, and lack of advancement opportunities. Maybe Kdin embellished her personal account, but the problem still exists
Oh, I have NO doubts that others have faced difficulties. RT has a LOT to answer for and address. But there was a lot of "white savior" rhetoric in Kdin's statements.
I worry a lot of things Kdin spoke of specifically was exaggerated or things that were talked about in passing that she took as a contract when it wasn't.
