work off

"People are often exploited, they’re held for large sums of money and often are put into things like debt bondage to try and work off these debts."

Bosa, absent since leaving the joint practice with the Rams on Aug. 4 because of an apparent hand/wrist injury, was working off to the side Thursday during practice.

Colson and Vidal did do some work off to the side.

So I’m working off of production drafts and working with three different estates, and the originators aren’t around to explain, “That’s what this very shorthand stage direction meant.”

Thanks to Jay's phone pinging a mast, Spanish police had a location to work off.
