Reply to comment by Bmorewiser in Maryland’s second-highest court orders new hearing for Adnan Syed, reinstates conviction by Cody_in_Baltimore

Damn, that's tighter than I'd expect. My work asks for two week's(10 work days) notice minimum for requesting leave, and even then you're prioritized below people who requested months earlier. 😬 If they like you they might make an exception for a "good reason" but I've seen people with a grudge stick to the letter of the rules, damn the reason, gotta be fair to everyone.

I would have to say though, the tragic murder of your sister at trial is a good reason…

If it's not legally protected it doesn't matter, unless someone's willing to run interference with the bureaucracy for you. But then you're benefiting from someone playing favorites, which is a whole other can of worms when coworkers start resenting their own "sorry no can do, rules are rules~!" experience with funerals, etc.
