  Because he had the day off, then came in anyway presumably because they called him in?

    So, just making random shit up?

      Id definitely read that as “coming in on his birthday, which he’d priorly arranged to have off”.

        I’d say it looks kinda sad even if it was not eir day off, it shouldn’t necessarily look like that but this picture does

    I asked because it sounded like a very common thing to do. Where I live the person celebrating is supposed to bring cake, snacks or something. He/she has plenty of time off, just not typical taken during one own birthday

  Everyone should have PTO that they can use whenever they want.

    Yes certainly.

    We prefer taking days off around weekends or an entire week for holidays (valid for the part of Europe I been). But talking your birthday off is not particularly common practice although nothing is stopping you if you want to.

      I know people who just take an extra day off on the weekend closest to their birthday. People do different stuff.
