Birthdays are hardly confidential.
- DamonHD 10mo agoThey should be unless you want to publish one of the things that too many (eg sites) regard as a reasonable secondary security verifier.
- ghaff 9mo agoAnd health records, e.g. prescriptions, as well.
- trollbridge 9mo agoGet a single speeding ticket in most jurisdictions in the U.S. and your birthdate is never confidential ever again.
- Insanity 10mo agoIt depends on the culture/religion. Not everyone celebrates birthdays. I had multiple ICs ask me not to say public birthday wishes, as they didn’t celebrate their birthday and/or did not want the rest of the team to know.
- ghaff 10mo agoThey're not really for many people (and, personally, I don't go to any extremes to keep it a secret). But sharing info like that from an HR record without permission feels a bit wrong even if others here obviously disagree.
