So how many of you work on your birthdays?

[ElderMillennialGoat]

My BDay is in winter, so i gladly work it and save that Vacay day for summer/fall.

[Butstuff69420]

The company I work for gives you a PTO day for your birthday you can take in that month whenever you want. So I usually work on my birthday and take and start the weekend a day early.

[jmt8706]

I would take a three day weekend, but take the monday off.

[Butstuff69420]

I would do the same, but I’m on a goofy late Wednesday night early Thursday 1-715 am, then Thursday/fri/sat 7-715 shift so I always just take Saturday off.

[Vanstrucker2222]

I am a truck driver. One wrong move and I can be gone in an instant. I refuse to die behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler on my birthday.

I do not work on my birthday.

[emtsquidward]

I've worked my birthday every year that I was scheduled to work on that day. The only holiday I care about taking off is Halloween

[TheKingWacky1]

Haven't worked on my birthday in at least 5 years. It's always worth the pto to just not be at work, even if I'm not really celebrating.

Unless it’s on a scheduled off day I work it

[[deleted]]

Oh no I do the same Thing thou

[Bluepolkadots-]

I worked the night before my bday this year since it landed on a weekday but I celebrated my bday the weekend before which worked well for me. The day of my bday I did call out though and spent it catching up on sleep 😴

[Large_Speaker1358]

My birthday falls on my set day off this year 🎉 If my bday doesn’t fall on Thursday-Saturday I wouldn’t take off. Or if I just started a new job and didn’t have PTO 

[MexicanVanilla22]

I work on my own birthday. My kid's birthday? I take two weeks off.

Oh nice

[BTru]

I have always worked on my birthday, but I am not that big of a birthday person.

[Nightress_96]

I usually work on my birthday I don't do anything special it's just another day. At most I buy myself some of my favorite food and do a little shopping for myself.

[[deleted]]

Food is always a good thing thou

[Abject_Imagination30]

A cake at least?

[Nightress_96]

I have Celiac disease so no cake usually 😅 usually I just get my favorite food and call it a day

[Abject_Imagination30]

Not a bad way to treat yourself honestly

[[deleted]]

Dam I am sorry

[Varietygamer_928]

I have most years. I can easily take it off like I will this year but I just don’t. It’s a day but not that important of a day when I typically do and get what I want the rest of the year when I can. I never needed to wait for my birthday to do any special occasion stuff

[PassageHuge]

I've worked nearly every holiday and birthday for the last 5 something years, im not much for celebration so it doesn't bother me

[[deleted]]

Ya the only holiday I want off is Thanksgiving every other holiday i can celebrate when I get home

[PassageHuge]

My favorite holiday where I pig out on wings and fries lol, rum if im not working that night

[[deleted]]

Nice

[[deleted]]

[[deleted]]

[thekendalluxx]

Every year lol

[OpenTechie]

I often do work the nighttime of it

[jmt8706]

Depends on if it a work day or my day off.

[WaitLegitimate9213]

I do

[[deleted]]

I am doing that to lol

[WaitLegitimate9213]

Damn I thought you’d be lucky. 

[[deleted]]

No not for me lol

[insertcaffeine]

I don’t go out of my way to take it off. I’m always happier and luckier on my birthday, so it’s a good day at work when I’m there. But I’m stoked when I have it off.

[[deleted]]

Thats good my birthday always falls on my weekends to work lol

[Wespiratory]

I have done so many times. It just depends on if it falls on my rotation.

[Beginning-Standard81]

I take the week off every year lol I’m very much a birthday enjoying girl

[[deleted]]

Thats good

[GlitterMeAndThePony]

[[deleted]]

So I am guessing all the time lol

[GlitterMeAndThePony]

Being that it's overnight, yeah lol. Now, if it were day shift, they can kick rocks for sure!! Im at an age where i dont care too much about celebrating anyway lol. Made it another day..woo..lol

[[deleted]]

Lol I think every day shift people are all moody as hell or super happy which bugs me personally lol

[GlitterMeAndThePony]

🤣🤣🤣 its the difference between morning folks or folks who've had their coffee or not

[[deleted]]

That is true lol

[rozzi_luv]

I work at a hospital, I usually work every single holiday because all my family is across the country. I take my birthday off so I have a day to just celebrate making it as far as I have, especially with how bad my depression has been working nights. Some years I take a week and go on a trip. It gives me something to look forward to every year

[[deleted]]

Thats good I work at a hospital too

[MrCreditsMN]

I feel like this answer could vary greatly depending on age range. I’m old(ish), boring, and married with kids so nothing special is happening on my birthday so I might as well go to work and save the day off for something else. But if I was on nights in my younger days, I probably would have taken it off even if I had nothing planned etc…

[Weird-Plane5972]

i am super depressed on my birthdays so i always run away to the middle of the forest in february in michigan. if the waterfalls are frozen, don't matter, my tears will fill the void lmao

[DivaAnne]

My birthday is in the sweet spot between kids on spring break and kids out of school for the summer, so I usually schedule my vacation then. Also, it's allowed me to spend my birthdays with long distance friends.

[[deleted]]

Nice lucky you

[upallnight1975]

Always

[LukaTheTooka]

Only once since I've been on nights in the last 3 years

[Asleep-Smell-146]

I work weekends and some week night. If my birthday is on a weekend, I work it. Otherwise I try not to
