People still work on national holidays
Plenty of jobs have no holidays off. Railroads for one. Have to vote early when you have the time available.

if this is true, wouldn't it be better that everyone else in the office isn't voting either?

Fill your pants up with shite right in the middle of the break room. Mr boss man will send you home.

Grow some balls and they must let you off to vote

They are required by law to give you time to vote.

Louisiana does not have a Voting Leave requirement. It does have a state statute that prevents employers with 20+ employees from interfering with an employees ability to participate in politics.

Create a paper trail. Email them to tell them you are going to vote. Document everything. If they fire you then lawyer up. Don’t back down

How Election Day is not a goddamn national holiday is beyond me.
Because a frick ton of people would just take a four day weekend.
I agree with you, but that’s what would happen.

Just email this to your employer and tell them you are leaving to go vote:
Louisiana does have a state statute that generally prohibits employers with twenty or more employees from interfering with an employee's ability to participate in politics. Specifically, LSA-R.S. 23:961 states that:
Except as otherwise provided in R.S. 23:962, no employer having regularly in his employ twenty or more employees shall make, adopt, or enforce any rule, regulation, or policy forbidding or preventing any of his employees from engaging or participating in politics, or from becoming a candidate for public office. No such employer shall adopt or enforce any rule, regulation, or policy which will control, direct, or tend to control or direct the political activities or affiliations of his employees, nor coerce or influence, or attempt to coerce or influence any of his employees by means of threats of discharge or of loss of employment in case such employees should support or become affiliated with any particular political faction or organization, or participate in political activities of any nature or character.
Any individual person violating the provisions of this Section shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars nor more than one thousand dollars, or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both; and any firm, corporation or association violating the provisions of this Section shall be fined not less than five hundred dollars nor more than two thousand dollars.

Not in Louisiana but see the state statute I posted above.

If you don't vote, you likely won't have a job next month anyway.
Make it happen.

be an adult and plan accordingly, don't wait until the last minute.

This. Say you’re terrified of hate and fascism taking over the country and that you need to do your part to save our democracy. It’s not like you’d be lying anyway if you’re voting for Trump.
Posted on 11/5/24 at 12:37 pm to deathvalleyfreak43
Are you willing to shite your pants for Trump?

You need to change your username to mother goose. You make up a lot of fairytales.
Posted on 11/5/24 at 12:37 pm to deathvalleyfreak43
This is why you vote early.
Posted on 11/5/24 at 12:38 pm to deathvalleyfreak43
Voting is right by law.

Why didn’t you early vote? Or go before work?
I tell my team not to leave stuff to the last minute in case things pop up.
Even if you headed that way at lunch would you have time?
That said, at the close of the workday I think it’s fair to be a little extra pushy about getting out on time to get there
