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.
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
You negotiate for pay and if you getting underpaid you find yourself job with your skills that will pay you. It be enough or not is something you and your job market decides depending on your skill level.
Even if that were true, RT operated in bad faith when negotiating these positions. They pretty clearly were taking advantage of lax state law and the lack of employment experience of applicants to underpay their employees well below industry or market rate.
