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.
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.
I know several (small) companies that give you 8 hours PTO on your birthday. You can use it immediately or save it for later.
Yeah, I really have no particular interest in taking my birthday off.
I’ll take your birthday off for you.
At least buy me dinner first.
No more birthdays… Loads shotgun

My birthday is on a holiday week, so I usually take the whole week off.
what the hell is a holiday week and how do I get one of those

I’ve never worked on my birthday

Yeah that’s fine, I try to use all my paid time off to, I just usually take it in larger chunks with family.
I’ve never really given much of a shit personally.
