@aaronswartz It wasn't long after :-) Also, to be clear, no pizzas and Red Bulls were ordered and nobody worked through the night.

@Fast-Nop Ah, thanks, makes sense.

@AvgCakeSlice This is also how you end up with the highest staff turnover I have seen and I've been working in this industry since 2001.

@aaronswartz or the time to ask for 20k$ upfront before starting to work for 24h straight or try to fix his own self-inflicted fucknugget mistakes... depending on if you need the money.
A story about the shittiest boss I ever had.
We were a consulting company, I was leading the dev team. We're on the phone with a client who needs a change to the software we're maintaining for them.
Boss (mouthes at me): How long?
I (hold up 3 fingers, mouth back): 3 days
Boss (to client): You have it by tomorrow. *hangs up*
I: What the actual fuck?
Boss: You said 3 days, 3 times 8h is 24h, better order some pizza and Red Bulls for your guys.
He pulled stunts like this all the time and yet genuinely seemed surprised when I quit.
