Strike type/duration (where you are struck from and for how long): CRO job, 1/3 strikes, 3 months
Strike reason: afk longer than 15m?
Your side of the story: The pop was low, the shift was going well, it was past half the shift afaik (science probably mostly done), I had to go to a meeting and thus had to close down for what should have been a simple case of a normal 5m morning meeting turned into a long meeting with a surprise visit from higher management. I was told after the fact that there was a blob threat. As at least the BS CO assumedly trying to get me to help, there was already sufficient security present to deal with a blob (even if it was just the BS CO). In IC this already strained my relations and credit far beyond what the job strike can do as I have talked with players and staff alike.
Why you think you the strike should be removed: To better maintain communication with staff on my AFK times and shall employ ahelps to indicate if I am unavailable for longer than 15m to just cryo me. I thought that'd be a frivolous ahelp and was informed I should be doing that instead of avoiding it. I generally play through an entire session without going SSD. There should have been more than sufficient resources to deal with a blob and a CRO (IMO) should not be expected to be employed in a combat role despite commonly doing securitys' (marshals', blackshields') job in that specific regard.
