[quote=Anonymous]I do Hr work and work with dozens of employers in the dc area and have never heard of anything like this.  It might make sense if it was only milestone birthdays and it just happens this group is all about the same age (eg a bunch of them turned 50 this year)?   Or maybe these are not office planned but are just planned by employees for their friends who then invite others?   (Some offices do that kind for baby showers.)

If it’s the latter, I think it’s a little weird and I wouldn’t like it, but whoever pulls the plug and tells employees they can’t throw in office parties anymore is going to be seen as the wet blanket in a big way.  If that’s the situation and it were me, I would just eat the cake and not worry about the fact that your social life doesn’t revolve around the office.  Maybe those people have no friends outside the office e to celebrate with them, which is kind of sad.

But if it’s really as you described — that the employer is paying to host a birthday celebration but only for certain people and not others—that’s a really unprofessionally run business.  [/quote]
