At least you had some dinner.

If you're hourly, you're getting paid for hours worked. I would say that is adequate.

If you’re hourly, they won’t work you till midnight. This is the abuse of the salaried workforce

Your payment is your paycheck as you agreed to these hours when you accepted the job. Anything extra is just an attempted bribe to make you stay instead of leaving to another employer.

Wow the compensation at your job could rival microsoft.

Depends on the pizza. More seriously, if you're working more hours than you're contracted for on a fixed salary with no overtime or unsocial hours uplifts, I'd find somewhere more appreciative of your efforts to go work for. I worked at a tech start-up and was always promised jam tomorrow, but it never materialised.

Once the clock strikes midnight, however, it is the perfect compensation for your work.

Being paid triple time is adequate payment.

Overtime is, but the pizza is a nice touch. I appreciated it when my boss provided it for free when I was an employee.

Yeah it’s better than nothing, when there was a critical matter at work that required a couple 4am night pizza was definitely appreciated and being salaried we were just told to take the day off after

New attendee: “from [city and state]”

Senior member: “No, where are you reeeeaaaallllyyy from?”
