Getting thrown under the bus after covering for a drunk senior and intern who had been out partying the night before. I wanted to punch the guy in the face.

My Sr gets new staff on every engagement can’t be there all bad or that Sr sucks.

Executives maybe protecting the Sr for reasons I have no idea why.

TLDR; Senior not reading emails from another associate on the team until the 11th hour and then realizing there were issues, leading to last minute testing requiring both associates to work late as a last minute notice to resolve the issue. This all happened on said senior’s birthday, so he went out to dinner while we were stuck doing work that should’ve been done months ago had he read his emails.

Still makes me mad thinking about it because it wasn’t even my area to test, but got sucked into helping.

Emailing the Sr issues and instead of getting a response to answer being told at the end of the engagement they just sent it to GDS with no communication back.
