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 RimWe should totally overthrow the ruling class and establish a workers paradise, in Rimworld of course

“I suddenly feel very sick.”
The pizza inexplicably gets tossed in the garbage and he’s homeward bound…
And here I am taking off my entire birthday week off like a rube.
This is the way. I don’t even care if I can share most of it with anyone. Like a party or get together is nice perhaps but spending a week sitting around in my shorts, drinking garbage lager and playing vidja games from the past? 1 sick week out of the muddling other 51. Pretty good shit imo.
Coming in on his birthday
Wait, you have jobs where you don’t have to show up if it’s your birthday?
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.
My current job and not my last job but the one before fhat yes. (Join a union)
I have pto
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
This picture is pure art. Holy shit.
Any reason he should not have come in during his 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.
Because he had the day off, then came in anyway presumably because they called him in?
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
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
Not even a nice pizza either, that’s clearly just a shitty microwave pizza
Prolly Altoona pizza.
Nah, that’s a Tesco uniform so probably UK. It’ll be a Chicago Town mini pizza.
What’s even more depressing is they come in packs of 2 and he’s only been given one of them.
The second is given to the team to split onto everyone and celebrate, too
I’d almost prefer if they didn’t give notice to my birthday if I got that pizza
A free meal on your birthday is pretty sweet.
They never said his pay wasn’t docker for that
And what a feast it is!
Pizzas are usually savoury
The “loving your work” poster behind him as well…
Chef’s kiss. 👌
And the trash can right next to him
But look how vibrant and happy the chairs are. What a crazy fun workplace.
The hard plastic chairs with no cushion that break when you sit down too fast.
That’s where the happiness goes.
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.
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 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.
I’ve never worked on my birthday
I know several (small) companies that give you 8 hours PTO on your birthday. You can use it immediately or save it for later.
I’ve never really given much of a shit personally.
Yeah, I really have no particular interest in taking my birthday off.
No more birthdays… Loads shotgun
Delay, defend, depose?
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.
what the hell is a holiday week and how do I get one of those
Move to Europe
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.
