Same. Never work on my bday either. After I once had to work until 3 am and no one on the team remembered it was my bday, I take a day off every year

Well...you're also not 12 anymore ;) happy birthday, make some other day YOUR day!

I never work on my birthday. Just don't think it's necessary

D2 - thats the plan!

Thanks Exib4, A1 😊

Same, never work your birthday. Too risky. I eat cake and drink wine and block all work calls and do whatever I want.

Seriously? For a birthday? Sorry, I seem to be one of the few that don't subscribe to the view that your birthday is a day off...

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
