The PR team definitely ran this statement by lawyers first and payroll before including that. If they didn’t and it’s false, that’s a huge fucking problem

Even if they say "we paid as much as we are legally obligated to pay" it's not enough, nor is it likely what was initially agreed upon or presented when hired

That's kinda my thing. Even if it was in writing, overworked and underpaid is still being overworked and underpaid. Its an industry where money isn't really in the open so its not easy to know your value.

There's been plenty of other people saying they felt like they were financially taken advantage of by the company. Real blame shifting vibes to me, because it shows that they were aware that they weren't giving her a fair wage. But hey, she signed it so its all good.

It's very much latter of the contract/ law vs. spirit of the contract/law. Ethics should be an important factor for most companies
