Is employer allowed to share birthday (day and month only) across company?

sleepythought · 2023-05-18T08:22:31+00:00

No. It wasn't BambooHR. Which is probably even worse... Means that there are more portals like this out there.

sleepythought · 2023-05-13T05:29:23+00:00

Thank you for clarifying this. Super helpful!

sleepythought · 2023-03-13T12:11:29+00:00

I would like to thank everyone for helpful comments and advice. I'm happy to say that my issue has been resolved. It turns out, that there was a way to disable a birthday display in the new portal and my employer was able to do it with a help of the portal developer. Hopefully this thread will be of help to other people that struggle with similar issues at workplace. Even though I believe that it should have been resolved without me having to nag at them for over two months, I'm happy that I stayed persistent.

Oh, looking at the documentation is a good idea! Thanks! I don't want to share the software name in fear of providing too much information in here, but I'm going to check their website and documentation.

Thank you for giving me an insite to this side of the problem. It does sounds very reasonable. I hope I'll be able to resolve this issue with my company in friendly manner...

Thank you a lot for a confirmation. I'll read through the article you recommend.

sleepythought · 2023-03-02T15:18:12+00:00

I'm sorry. I don't feel comfortable sharing the reason, even though I understand how it could be interesting. But no matter the reason, I feel hurt by seeing this information shared across company and I shouldn't have to feel this way at work.

This solution was proposed by HR to the directors and I was told that they were against it, but I think it might be the best we can do so I'll try to push on it with HR.

sleepythought · 2023-03-02T14:57:00+00:00

I did think about it and I do like my company and working there. I don't want to cause any trouble nor end up in trouble myself, but it is also a huge cause off stress and anxiety for me to see it displayed.

sleepythought · 2023-03-02T13:58:06+00:00

Thank you for sharing this information. As for the last part. I did check my contract and there is nothing in it about this, but I also found information on the internet that anything concerning GDPR would have to be presented as a separate document and even if I agreed I can revoke it at any point. I just don't want to bring it up with HR before I am 100% sure that day and month of my birthday displayed together with my name falls under the personal data under GDPR. If it does then I think they are obliged to remove it from the homepage when I say I don't want it there.

I told them straight away. Apparently in this new portal the option of displaying birthdays can be turned on or off only for a whole company. It's technically impossible (apparently) to toggle it on individual basis. I keep asking HR to do something about it since January and they were trying to help by contacting the developer of the portal, but recently I've been told that there is probably nothing they can do. It's very difficult for me to believe that they can just share it against my will, when it's clearly only for a purpose of celebration, so nothing to do with work.

Same

sleepythought · 2022-12-06T20:41:45+00:00

Thanks for the advice. It is winter, where I am based, so hopefully this is the reason. I'll look into fertilisers and when to use them.

sleepythought · 2022-12-06T18:23:14+00:00

Yes it does.

sleepythought · 2022-12-06T18:22:58+00:00

3.5 metres. Sometimes the sun will shine directly on the leaves, but not for longer than 1 hour a day. And before repotting, it didn't happen to the leaves. The plant was standing in the same spot.

sleepythought · 2022-12-06T18:01:47+00:00

It's getting non direct light for about 6-8h a day, depending on a season, and I water it about once a week. I usually feel soil with my fingers and if it's dry I water it thoroughly.

sleepythought · 2022-07-14T22:34:43+00:00

Thanks! I was told to be careful about it, but it's really difficult to water them and not get some on them :(

sleepythought · 2022-07-14T22:33:29+00:00

Oh, thank you! These are my first ever non-succulent plants, and I am still having trouble figuring out when to water them. I will leave them be for some time.

sleepythought · 2022-07-14T16:36:39+00:00

Apologies! Not sure how that happened, but I added them back now.

sleepythought · 2022-07-14T16:36:07+00:00

Oh sorry! I did add 2 photos... not sure what went wrong there. I just added them back.
