Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Unless you were shouting about this in advance, it's pretty amazing that they remembered at all.
Uh, anniversary notes are pretty standard, even in the shittiest companies. It's a no-brainer to integrate off an HR database, don't even have to remember to enter it.
Small to large companies, never known one to not have that data and celebrate in some way.
What you say is correct. You also have to keep in mind that management is often overwhelmed and this sort of thing can pass by. That said, I quit a job when they did nothing for my birthday after making a big deal about two birthdays the month prior.
