    Ate without table -3

      That should easily be -30.

      Making someone eat without a table is a war crime.

      At least there are no laws on the Rim

    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.

    source
    • conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      source
      • wesker@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

      • bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

      source
      • HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

        source
    • HeyJoe@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

      source
      • JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

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

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

    source
    • toynbee@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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?

      source
    • smiletolerantly@awful.systems ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

      source
    • ricecake@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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 🤣

    • DakRalter@thelemmy.club ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

      source
    • Anti_Face_Weapon@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

      source
  • Monzcarro@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    1, I used to work for this company when I was young and had no idea what my rights were. They very much took advantage of this, such as calling me in on an hours notice on my days off.

      I had a strict I don’t answer the phone when not working policy. They could attempt to call me in but it wouldn’t be recieved. If they asked me while I was at work I usually said yes, but I’m not about to come in on an hours notice

      This is Tesco. I heavily doubt they do that. The pizza is probably just something a colleague came up with than an actual policy thing.
