I never pay attention to that statement... I'll (try my best to...) manage my own time to reach the gate right at the time when boarding starts

No compensation whatsoever despite the lack of an announcement and my reliance on their promise to do so.
Lounge staff has never been so caring to me...
Always just let me move to the gate and wait there....
But did they say the boarding is delayed or what? If boarding has started then there's no reason to keep staying in the lounge... Also if they know you're in the lounge gate may call the lounge to call you out as this should be faster than unloading your bag (if any)
p.s. BTW was the flight oversold?
