It's been a few years now, but when we had the bankruptcy information she was only listed as working around 20 hours a week. I think we narrowed it down to her basically working three days, but I don't remember if that was outright confirmed or just speculation.
According to the bankruptcy she made either $1,742.32 / month (taken from the
statement of monthly income) or $1,349.92 / month (taken from the
initial petition) before all payroll deductions. The most charitable interpretation,, which still reflects poorly on her, is that the income on the statement of monthly income was averaged over the preceding six months whereas the income from the petition was as of the date Phil filed - if her hours were cut significantly that could explain the delta. Using
minimum wage data from Seattle (we don't know if Kat worked within city limits but we
do know from
this Department of Labor page that Renton and Tukwila have even higher minimum wages, so this sees like a fair guess) that minimum wage for large employers, which would cover the large chains where she's worked, was $16 in 2019 and $16.39 in 2020.
Now to get the maximum hours Kat could have legally worked we divide $ 1,742.32 / month into $ 16 / hour to get 108.895 hours / month. Assuming 4 working weeks in a month (a bit low, this would only apply in February) and we get
27.22 hours / week. If we lowball her hours and highball her pay that works out to $1,349..92 / month $16.39 / hour and her hours would drop down to
20.6 hours / week. If she earned greater than minimum wage these hours would be overestimates, but there is no credible way for the 27 hours / week to be an underestimate. So to your post yeah, it's speculation because all we have is Phil's claims + the occasional noise from her putting the lie to his claim that she's working but the numbers line up neatly with three nine-hour days / week.
That still baffles my mind. They must really not like you if you're working the early shifts and out the door by 1-1:30 pm.
Where are you getting the early shifts bit from? So far as I can remember he's mentioned her working evening/night shifts - sometimes he'll answer chat questions by saying she's working during his streams, but never something about how she has to get up early. The only time I can remember him mentioning his girlfriend's early shifts was when Leanna was still around.
Like they rather not have you around than relieve other people from working nights or weekends.
This would track with Phil's comments: He has complained that Kat has been passed over for promotions, she never gets her first choice of shifts, and that nobody at her work likes her; there was also one time he ranted about how retail jobs can be great when the company keeps its word. With hindsight this was probably his way of complaining Kat fucked up and the store did not cover for her.
