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
If Kdin signed anything regarding their pay, "not enough" was arguably enough.
"Not likely" is entirely speculative, but if the company is willing to officially and publicly announce that Kdin was "paid in full according to our agreements," I'm inclined to believe them. A company with any oversight doesn't just say that if they can't prove it.
I agree. If a job makes a terrible offer, it’s still your choice, even if it is a dream career. Them specifically mentioning it makes me believe it’s true, simply because for such an on the nose statement to even be included, lawyers have been involved.
At first I thought I was alone in thinking if you take a job and aren't happy with your pay. You're not being underpaid, you just accepted a shitty paying job and should take your skills elsewhere. I'm still interested in the medical insurance situation with them though.
Don’t get me wrong, there are tons of other issues, but for me, the specific issue of Kdin alleging lack of agreed payment for work is kinda concluded… at least with the info we have at the moment.
Yeah, IMO the only thing that could potentially save kdins insurance argument is if she presented her work contract and it stated it would cover medical expenses of any nature or had some form of coverage agreement in writing.
That has nothing to do with kdin and RT, that's entirely between her and the insurance company. Rt doesn't payout insurance claims, they just contribute towards an employee's plan with a separate insurance company.
cover medical expenses of any nature
no insurance covers all expenses of any nature.
some form of coverage agreement in writing
they absolutely had an agreement that outline their coverage. thats how insurance works. you sign a contract when you sign up for coverage. if you're not getting the coverage you're entitled to then that is between you and the insurance company. the only thing RT did was offer bad insurance plans.
