  Yeah, I really have no particular interest in taking my birthday off.

    I’ll take your birthday off for you.

  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.

    My birthday is on a holiday week, so I usually take the whole week off.

        I interpreted it as a week with a holiday. If you get labor day off, taking the rest of the week gets you 9 days off for 4 days PTO.
        Likewise, if your birthday is near there and you get it for free, it’s 9 days for 3 days PTO.

      Mine is usually on labor day so I take the month of September off

  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.

  I’ve never really given much of a shit personally.

  I know several (small) companies that give you 8 hours PTO on your birthday. You can use it immediately or save it for later.
