Edit

Got put on a panel and sent to a courtroom. I got lucky and was not picked. It was a civil case. 
But!! I have to call after 5pm and see if the need me tomorrow. So it's like I'm on call all week?

Hell, just wear a MAGA shirt or hat. If you survive, you at least won't have jury duty anymore. Ever!

ETA: See that Prawn beat me to it.

Do your civic duty and be happy you live in a country where a jury trial is possible.

When employees are called or subpoenaed to server on a state petit or grand jury, or central jury pool, the employer is required to pay up to one (1) days wages



So if you're self employed you have to compensate yourself with a day's pay?

My wife is self-employed. We siphon off earnings each month to cover typical leave situations (Illness, vacation, jury duty, etc.)

We also understand the “long” game of these situations.
