    Coming in on his birthday

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

      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?

      That should easily be -30.

      Making someone eat without a table is a war crime.

      At least there are no laws on the Rim

        We should totally overthrow the ruling class and establish a workers paradise, in Rimworld of course

    Do people usually stay home for their birthday? I didn’t know of any companies that specifically give you off, so I’d think you’d use PTO.

      My workplace gives you a free day within a month of your birthday. Most people take the closest Monday or Friday to get a three day weekend, but some people are lucky and get to bump a three to a four.

      I’ve never heard of a company giving you your birthday off either. But it’s the only day every year that I feel special, so I always use vacation time to have that day off. And usually a couple of days surrounding it too.

        My company originally said you got two free days off per year, outside the accrued PTO: one for your birthday, and one for parity because office #2 got a state holiday that #1 didn’t.

        Now they moved to the “unlimited PTO” gimmick which has no right answer for how much time you can take off, so I follow the old PTO accrual schedule for my seniority as a guide.

      What’s wrong with taking off? I do it every chance I get. Screw em, they take enough of my time, and I refuse to go a year where I leave any time unused.

        Yeah that’s fine, I try to use all my paid time off to, I just usually take it in larger chunks with family.

    And here I am taking off my entire birthday week off like a rube.

      This is the way. I don’t even care if I can share most of it with anyone. Like a party or get together is nice perhaps but spending a week sitting around in my shorts, drinking garbage lager and playing vidja games from the past? 1 sick week out of the muddling other 51. Pretty good shit imo.

    I’d almost prefer if they didn’t give notice to my birthday if I got that pizza
