      When I read this, I thought you were being naive with the first half, thinking that any employer would give a shit, but then you gave me new hope by citing the grim rationale of the corpocrat. Thank you for this breath of fresh, cynical air. A much-needed, realist break from the glitter-bomb hope porn I expected

      My last employer had a policy of giving paid leave for National Guard duty. Up to two weeks. After that, maybe you can supplement your income by stealing wallets off some protestors.

        I think they mostly get paid regardless because of the optics, and cant get fired for missing days. People used to take pride in hiring national guard. I think they will start to see lay offs which will be an interesting dynamic for the maga crowd.
