Can you name and shame the company/school? I'm not surprised this happened in Texas. I was unfortunate enough to live there for 3 years.
The University of Texas has a very impressive and rightfully renowned education system. If you were to talk to any administrative employee who interacts with other UT campuses and tell them that story, they'd say "that sounds like something that would happen at UTSA," and they'd be correct. The specific school, department, or lab does not make a difference; those two campuses are fucking HR nightmares.
I actually tried taking my complaints up the chain of command, and eventually to HR. My HR rep told me that everything I was saying sounded normal, but stressed that I shouldn't talk to anyone outside of UTSA because other entities would accuse me of fraud. TWC was my absolute last option.
Oh no, they would accuse UTSA of fraud.
I was initially advised of fraud. Then I got the reviewer to look at all the emails and recordings. Iirc, their exact words were, "oh shit... Uhh... Give me a couple of days to go through all of this..."
The resolution packet I received with all the back and forth between TWC and UTSA was far closer to TWC telling a state university to shut the fuck up than I ever expected to read.
I worked at UTSW in Dallas. That tracks.
