I can't wait. I want to get the experience.

My husband gets called all the time.

Stepping foot in a courtroom

I thought it was based on voter registration. Hubby and I always vote and more recently we do vote by mail.

That seems extremely passive aggressive.

and it's like you find yourself in that space where it's like "am I overreacting?"

I mean, that's how passive aggressive language works right? It's meaning is clear to you, but there's enough weasel built into the actual words (I mean, you will be "off" of work for an amount of "time") that you can't actually object without seeming irrational. And the person saying it always has plausible deniability, even though they could have chosen one of dozens of value-neutral ways of discussing it. Like "Atillah Moor will be out" or, honestly, "Atillah Moor has jury duty" so everybody knows you're meeting a civic duty and legal obligation.

Guilt-based office politics are way more destructive than people realize. I don't even know you and I hate this for you.

we get paid for it too thank god

I don't understand the question...
like. anytime you're not at work it's considered time off..

like it's a vacation or something you chose to do

to describe why I may not be available

to show up at court and go through all that. it's not like you're spending the day doing stuff you want to do for yourself.

to anybody responsible for managing your work or working on projects that require your input, it's "time off" because you're not in the building and they gotta manage things without you for that time.

if you're working for me or with me, i don't really care why you're not here. you're either there or you're not and business gotta be handled. the why don't matter that much...

that way in reference to someone?

I ain't lyin. This shit i'm making up is true...

I wish I could have lived when physical confrontations were acceptable problem solving methods because I want to put hands on this person in the worst way.

it sounds like dude is intentionally taking time off which could upset some people if they have a deadline.

There is a pattern of this guy using sneak dis language

and so have my coworkers/managers, unless it was said jokingly

...off" type of time off


otherwise wtf you got jury duty

regular Paid Time Off balance. You have a specific amount of days allocated for vacation, floating holiday, planned sick time, unplanned sick time, and volunteer time (they pay us to take 3 days per year off of work to do any kind of volunteer work in the community.)

Jury duty and bereavement are also considered paid time off, but there’s no specific number of days allocated. You could be on jury duty for weeks for example, but all of that would still be time paid by the company so you aren’t missing out on income. Same thing with bereavement - if you had multiple family members die in a year you still get that bereavement time (I think there actually is a set number of days per death).
