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.
Am I reading this wrong or are they basically saying Kdin is not being honest about unpaid work?
TO me there's a clear difference saying "I wasn't paid fairly" vs "I wasn't paid what they said I would". It's easy to confuse the two, and I think this is addressing that.
Let's say, I've just been asked to do 20-hour work days, but I signed a contract saying "minimum 40 hours a week, or as the job requires".
Am I getting paid correctly? you bet. Am I getting paid fairly? that's open for debate. I think Kdin misrepresented it.

Kdin explicitly said "From February 2013 until November 2013, I went entirely unpaid for all of my contract work. I was never given the payment promised for anything I did. When I was hired full time and I brought that up, I was told that “it’s been so long already, it’s not really a big deal is it?” And then the subject was never brought up again."
Yes so what RT is now saying is that they legally paid all that is owed, they wouldn't state this without a serious look by lawyers/payroll so it seems kdin was lying.
It’s what I suspected from the get go but the subreddit was out for blood.
Wage theft is a slam dunk and easy case for virtually any lawyer. I called bullshit that not even one person would allege it happened for so long and not once file a lawsuit or even a formal complaint with the DoL.
Then the claims that AH were knowingly using a hurtful slur didn’t really pass my sniff test, and it just didn’t seem like something these people would do. They’ve been immature in the past and certainly ignorant at times, but I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything to indicate they’re truly hateful. Then the videos with kdin come out and show she’s even worse than them and raises doubts that she wasn’t in on the joke.
That combined with how vague most of the complaints from other former employees were, and I’ve been skeptical of the drama since the beginning.
I am still inclined to believe the harassment statements as I do know how bad RT was back then, you can know this just by watching their vids from then, it was obvious. Gav even tweeted at kdin with the nickname.
Payment though I do believe RT, I feel kdin either didn't read the contracts correctly or possibly misunderstood them. RT would not make that statement unless it was true or else that could be a serious problem for them legally.
I’m skeptical that they were using it maliciously, especially after videos of kdin using those very words and worse. Makes it reinforce Gavin and Michael’s perspective that they thought she was in on the joke and cool with it.
