The “loving your work” poster behind him as well…
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.
Somehow this room gives me Theme Hospital vibes which I never wanted to admit, hadn’t I seen the real version. (Now I understand why my doctors were always depressed.)
That’s where the happiness goes.
And his headset’s still on
Chef’s kiss. 👌
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 RimAte human meat -5
Ate without table -60
not having a cannibal colony
We should totally overthrow the ruling class and establish a workers paradise, in Rimworld of course
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.
Tbf it looks nicer than anything I would bring to work for lunch. I just bring in pasta from the night before and give it a ding 🤣
I have pto
I used to in a previous job. They brought in a thing where if your birthday fell on your usual shift day, you got it off at full pay.
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.
Can’t wait for season 2
Same. I think I have the wrong food reward party though

Show?
Severance. It’s on Apple TV, but it’s definitely worth watching
Defiant Jazz!
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.
Yeah, I really have no particular interest in taking my birthday off.
I’ll take your birthday off for you.
At least buy me dinner first.
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
I interpreted it as a week with a holiday. If you get labor day off, taking the rest of the week gets you 9 days off for 4 days PTO.
Likewise, if your birthday is near there and you get it for free, it’s 9 days for 3 days PTO.Yes exactly, efficient use of PTO
Mine is usually on labor day so I take the month of September off
Nice
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.
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 worked on my birthday
I’ve never really given much of a shit personally.
I know several (small) companies that give you 8 hours PTO on your birthday. You can use it immediately or save it for later.
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?
This picture is pure art. Holy shit.
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.
Why would he still have on his phone headset during lunch too?
Is it a headset? They .ight just be cheap headphones, but you don’t really see those anymore
Naw, you can make out the microphone bracket …it’s a headset
They don’t match either…
I’d almost prefer if they didn’t give notice to my birthday if I got that pizza
