And some of the ones that do pay you, require you to turn down the fifteen dollars. That’s some sadistic shit right there…

*In a country where your healthcare is tied to employment

While employers are not required to pay you, many will offer it as a benefit, but only up to 8 hours. Basically them saying “we know you’re required by law to do this so we’ll pay you, but you better try your damnedest to get dismissed in the first day”.

Fair enough if that’s the case. Over here, we get at least a month of paid vacation time and a bunch of days on top of that. So basically, it would just be slightly inconvenient to colleagues if someone had to take a day off. But that’s the same as any sick days, so not much of an issue.

Still though, if you can, I think you should. If nothing else, it’ll give you a front row seat to seeing your judicial system in action. And if you’re a bit more engaged, reading up on things like ‘jury nullification’ is smart if you’re ever called for jury duty.
