No.

Did you bill for the time you stayed up waiting?

Exactly!!
I would have gone to sleep and added in the early am.

The agreement was being turned that night. No denying it was stressful, and I’m all for being a team player, but it was annoying that they couldn’t give me anything else to do. I offered/asked to help in other ways.
Nope. They just didn’t want to do it themselves (even tho it’s really their responsibility). That’s fucked up that they did that.
Damn, my bad
I’m so sorry you dealt with this. Certain groups (like certain groups at certain firms) are insanely disrespectful about deadlines. Others are great. Being this late on a deadline would not fly in my group.
Omg my comment does read like a specialist hater comment. I’m a specialist. One of the types that catches hate, too.

No. As a senior, if I had to be up anyway, I would have just handled it and told you to sign off.
Been in this situation myself. Ways out:
- let the senior / mid know that this is all you're waiting for and if they have anything else you can do in the meantime, because if not you're going to go home
- if they still keep you with nothing to do (also happened to me), shamelessly watch Netflix in your office without headphones and order food. Win either way for me as that's what I'd be doing if I was home anyway.

I’ve also gone to sleep and put my phone on loud
Subject Expert
Nope. Not acceptable. I probably would’ve eventually gone to bed and woke up early. If they really needed it out that night then they could’ve done it themselves since they were online.
I’m a burnt out as hell third year though so I’ve become pretty jaded
Coach
Yes
Enthusiast
No.
Honestly just watch some TV and chill it’s not that big of a deal (they probably didn’t realize you had nothing else you were working on bc you didn’t tell them that), and they were probably so busy with their own stuff (since they too were online at 2:30an that they didn’t think about it)

Staying up til 2:30 am for no reason is a big deal. Personally, I really need my sleep (chronic illness) so staying up when there’s no reason for it is a big deal for me.
