Wouldn't the slab be compromised with a piece of wood in it?

You're far more forgiving than I would be in this situation.
I’ll give them a chance to fix it. Can’t see demoing 30 yards of concrete!Jesus!

I think the concern here is whether this is just some superficial issues, or structural.
Those pics you put up look very rough to me, tho admittedly I'm not concrete expert... but I think if you discovered there's lumber embedded in the concrete just from a control joint cut? That's a bad sign.
What I would hate to see is starting to put together a building on top of 30 yards of substandard concrete.
If the concrete contractor has screwed up it's not on you to accept that as-is, it's on them to demo and repour correctly and they know it, or at least compensate you -- Don't let them dismiss or cover up serious issues until it's too late to resolve them.

You're making my point. I'd absolutely have that demo'd.
And if it was it would be a ***** to get the soil under it compacted again!

The pad was poured directly onto soil? Compaction would be as simple as it was the first go round (assuming it was compacted in the first place).
Slab is on ABC. But footers go down another 18”’.
I built a barn here in Michigan.. They wanted $400 for permits.. and a bunch of drawings, site plans, engineering approvals, etc.
As I was doing some research on google, I stumbled upon a little known law here in Michigan that exempts agricultural buildings from needing township approved building permits.
So instead of building a barn, I built an agricultural building. Still had to pull an electrical permit.. no getting around that, but they didn't even blink at my "agricultural" designation.
The world is just stupid.
