>besides your choice to overreact (stay overnight)

It was not a choice. It was an order.

A company can’t “order” you to stay overnight. Unlike the military you can walk away.
People did walk away eventually. But not immediately because when you have a family, for instance, you can't leave a job without making sure you have health insurance etc., People eventually left once they found other jobs.
If you’re otherwise a productive employee you can just say no too, and dare them to fire you.
"daring" your employer is not a wise career advice.
“If you’re otherwise a productive employee”.
