More former Rooster Teeth employees have come forward with allegations of mismanagement, crunch, and pay disparity. They join Kdin Jensen, a former employee who worked on both Achievement Hunter and RWBY, in criticizing the company, describing it as an "unsafe" and "horrible" place to work.

Ellie Main and Autumn Farrell from Skill Tree and Achievement Hunter respectively are among the workers adding to the allegations against Rooster Teeth. Farrell in particular claims that HR at Rooster Teeth was aware of the issues they faced, but did "absolutely nothing about it". Farrell also shared her resignation letter from 2020, which cites the abuse allegations as a reason behind her leaving - thus proving that Rooster Teeth was aware of these concerns.

They also shared an account of being called "F*gg*t" in the workplace, which was shortened to "Fugz" in Rooster Teeth content.

These claims have now been backed up by other former workers across Rooster Teeth's numerous projects, including RWBY, Gen:Lock, and more.
