(Posting this thread to keep some of the generals from being assaulted.)
So, taking a page from Nijisanji's playbook, V&U put out an initial termination notice, then seeing the bad reaction to it, doubled down with a second announcement with more of the same.
This all after sending Serafi a itemized invoice, totalling $450K USD, describing what she would need to pay to amicably terminate her contract.
Serafi's signed contract as well as the $450K invoice were recently leaked, revealing:
- The briefly worded contract's duration was actually 1 year, not 3. It had already expired when she asked to quit.
- The contract was actually signed on September of 2022, not on January of 2023 as V&U claims.
- She was initially paid $500/month for four months with a bonus total of $2500 on the fourth month. (So less than minimum wage.)
- The only penalty described in the contract is five times that. (Still unenforceable, but nowhere near $450K.)
- The itemized invoice claims that several heads of departments had spent 50% of their time on her, despite there being 19 other talents, while demanding she pay that portion of their salaries, and included a $20,000 item labeled only "etc", among other "oddities".
- They confirmed the existence of this invoice in their second termination announcement.
- Despite cries of "imitating Doki", Serafi was trying to leave the company on February 2nd, before Doki's termination notice was posted.
In the company's defense:
- The confidentiality agreement, though unenforceable, is three years.
- Serafi has swapped managers multiple times. (Though this was apparently not by her request.)
- Serafi, like Pochi, leaves several donothon goals unfulfilled. (Though she's not recieving the money for her donothon.)
- V&U is offering refunds for various Serafi related purchases from December 2023 onwards, until April 23rd.
- The rrats have it that Serafi caused some drama among her sisters. (Please post a QRD of this, even if nothing she could have possibly done would justify a half-million dollar invoice.)
Serafi claims to have signed no other contract nor has received any other official documents besides the contract and the invoice.
