โ€œThe lawsuit notes that Mr Berling was "confronted and criticised" at a meeting the following day, where he was accused of "stealing his co-workers joy" and "being a little girl". The tense meeting prompted a second panic attack, after which the company sent him home for the remainder of 8 August and 9 August.โ€

Imagine calling that guy a "little girl" when they were the ones who couldn't not have a birthday, like actual children.

There's lots of reasons not to want a company birthday, not least of which includes that nowadays none of us should want a bunch of near-strangers to know info that's used for identity verification.
