year as her birthday benefit, equal to all their other employees. Simple. An employer who thinks more outside the box might give her 4 days off every leap year (or give the leap birthday employee the choice of which way she wants to do it).
Instead, she is subjected to this ridiculous, petty, rigid, too literal employer decision making. Too many people in management have no people skills. What does the employer gain by doing this? Bad will amongst people who know which employer this is — when the employer could so easily have gained good will instead.
