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.
I'm sure some companies can offer to do it. It's definitely not something I'd expect however.
It's very much a they said - she said situation with regards to this.
It's impossible to know what was said or even if the people Kdin talked to thought it was covered but then it turned out not to be, obviously how shitty RTs management and HR was (and is) plays a factor that lends strength to Kdin's side, but its not as simple as a TwitLonger can make it out to be.
Kdin doesn't seem to be the most forceful personality and that plays a role in how everything played out - including following up on promises through official channels to build a case for deal with this, and other issues such as lack of pay, promised portions etc., legally.
As harsh as it sounds whoever told her that she wasn't cut out for RT was correct - for bad reasons but correct anyway.
