Coming in on his birthday
Wait, you have jobs where you don't have to show up if it's your birthday?
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?
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 👍
Sounds nice, it's good to see some people receive better conditions
My current job and not my last job but the one before fhat yes. (Join a union)
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.
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.
I have pto
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 hour's notice on my days off.
2, The Raw Egg Nationalist is a right-wing twat. https://hopenothate.org.uk/2024/06/20/egg-sposed-we-reveal-the-identity-of-far-right-bodybuilder-the-raw-egg-nationalist/
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 for the same rate of pay, if you want on call, pay for on call.
That's a man considering a new career.
I got called in for an inventory audit on my birthday and ended up working from 8am to 2am the following morning.
What kind of pizza did you get?
Most commenters here don't appreciate how sad the image really is: the headset is playing some corporate prefabricated Happy Birthday message, starting and ending with "Loving your work." company motto accompanied with nothingmusic in background.
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.
That same pizza is also given to those before a layoff I bet.
So they leave by themselves?
To keep everyone on edge.
Bro that looks like a waffle with syrup wth kinda pizza even is that
microwaved, not even toasted
Toasted?!
waffles? yes. pizza? toaster oven, yes.
Damn, is that a Lunchables UPLOADED!?
I can't decide if this is AI generated or if bro has size 38 shoes
He's clearly a big guy, look how far his legs extend past the edge of a normal chair.
Jesus it's wild to think people would assume I'm an AI generated image based off of the fact that I wear a size 15 US (49 Euro).
Sure, that's what an AI generated image would say
If he is working at a place that requires steel or composite toes they will also look like clown shoes.
A free meal on your birthday is pretty sweet.
Anyone who willingly associates with Raw Egg Nationalist deserves this fate tbh
"I suddenly feel very sick."
The pizza inexplicably gets tossed in the garbage and he's homeward bound...
