        I asked because it sounded like a very common thing to do. Where I live the person celebrating is supposed to bring cake, snacks or something. He/she has plenty of time off, just not typical taken during one own birthday

          Id definitely read that as “coming in on his birthday, which he’d priorly arranged to have off”.

            I’d say it looks kinda sad even if it was not eir day off, it shouldn’t necessarily look like that but this picture does

        Yes certainly.

        We prefer taking days off around weekends or an entire week for holidays (valid for the part of Europe I been). But talking your birthday off is not particularly common practice although nothing is stopping you if you want to.
