Coming in on his birthday

Wait, you have jobs where you don't have to show up if it's your birthday?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

I've never had that ... But for the past seventeen years I've used PTO if my birthday wasn't on the weekend and I haven't been denied yet, so there's that?

We get birthdays off, not counting towards the 30 days paid holidays, which is completely separate from unlimited paid sick days. Oh, and also since last Wednesday, the entire company is on holidays, we're back 2nd week of January. Doesn't count towards the 30 days, of course 👍

It says "shift leader". Shift work jobs have some flexibility for days off anyway, and if the management is nice they schedule the week so your birthday is free.

There are also some places that might just do a nice, if not grandiose, gesture for someone on their birthday.

Previous place I worked it was pretty routine for a manager to grab one of those containers of store made cupcakes if it was someone's birthday and they knew they didn't mind, make sure they got one and leave the rest in the break room.
Never anything more or less than just a nice gesture.

I'm guessing someone tried a nice gesture and it came out looking sad, so they posed for a picture for a chuckle and moved in. I don't know anyone who would be really upset by being given a pizza bagel on their birthday.

Tbf it looks nicer than anything I would bring to work for lunch. I just bring in pasta from the night before and give it a ding 🤣

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I used to in a previous job. They brought in a thing where if your birthday fell on your usual shift day, you got it off at full pay.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I always tell the months in advance that I'm going to take that day off. I haven't been denied, and if they did I would just take the day off anyway.
