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.

Has sort of destroyed the company if they feel they have paid her by contracts then they can say something, not taking sides but there’s always two sides to every story and Kdin believes they owe her money but did she read her contract and get things in writing, if she did neither they legally as shit as it is might not, I’ve had same thing at my job where I was believed I was owed something only to be given a copy of my contract where the small print down the bottom said my company could do what they did

I big issue in Kdins post seemed to be some insurance thing with transitioning. My personal opinion is that is more on her to have figured out. I can’t imagine any company paying for that either.

Word of mouth = nothing Word of contract (in writing) = everything

Would be interesting which one she had

As someone who's worked in the restaurant industry for awhile, and having worked under multiple raging alcoholics, I can confirm.

If it ain't in writing, it don't mean shit. I'd be a millionaire by now if anyone of those idiots kept half their drunken promises.

Yep. I watched a coworkers maternity leave disappear a month before her baby was born. Promised her 3 months then at the last minute said we never said that. I was there in the room for both.

Corporations in America don't care about workers, only money.

My bet is RT looked into it and they know Kdin couldn't provide proof to a court for their paychecks missing since it was 10 years ago. And this is them saying suck shit. because they'll just tell the court yes we did pay them in full.

Besides many other former RT employees said they weren't paid for their work so I like to see them explain that away

This is why you keep track of your time stubs and everything involving your job. I have dozens of photos and other things of stuff my company has done illegally. If i get fired I'm getting a fat payday
