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.

[-] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 week ago

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

[-] wesker 38 points 1 week ago

I'll take your birthday off for you.

[-] wizblizz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

At least buy me dinner first.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

No more birthdays... Loads shotgun

[-] uis@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

Delay, defend, depose?

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

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

[-] mediOchre@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

what the hell is a holiday week and how do I get one of those

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago

Yes exactly, efficient use of PTO

[-] Damage@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 week ago

Move to Europe

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.

[-] HakFoo 7 points 1 week 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.

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week 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.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week 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.

[-] Stamau123@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I've never worked on my birthday

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Humana@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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