[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I bet who gets a birthday celebration is a reflection of who is willing to do the work to plan and organize it. The “it” people likely have friends who are willing to do the work. My last office didn’t celebrate birthdays, but we did celebrate relatively rare milestones like weddings and babies, and had occasional office parties. I planned most gatherings until I became a supervisor (because supervisors couldn’t solicit contributions from the people they supervise). When I did it, everyone got parties. When I wasn’t able to do it, no one else wanted to take on the responsibility unless it was for a friend. I had to assign/harass/harangue people to throw parties for others. (For the record, I would have never agreed to throw individual birthday parties for people - it’s a lot of work if your team is more than a couple of people.)[/quote]
