I don't put personal info on my boss's calendar either. But I also work as a contractor and report to multiple client directors so I'm pretty much the red-headed step-admin here. The department admin has started acknowledging the birthdays of contractor personnel along with client personnel at our monthly safety meeting and for me that is sufficient. Admin Day is pretty much ignored and again, it doesn't bother me. Me and my supervisor would take our direct boss out for lunch on his B-day and Boss's Day to acknowledge it but my supervisor was given notice of her lay off last week and with changes they are making that affects my workload, I'm thinking I won't even be here AP Day, let alone Boss's day this year.
I take vacation around my B-day each year. If it falls right, I can take my B-day, four additional day of vacation and then have 4th of July holiday since they are just a week apart. It worked that way last year and will again this year.
Something to look forward to if I still have a job come June.
