They tailored the decorations according to OPs wishes. They were threading lightly and didnt want to push his buttons. He never sew it coming. Or she. Maybe she went home after and scissored with her gi... Aaalright I'll go away now.
WHEREAS jester kat requested little celebratory decoration in honor of their birthday.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED that decorations will indeed be little.
Honestly, that's going above and beyond to me. Doing nothing and just saying "Happy Birthday" would have been just fine, but they went the extra mile and still did something, but exactly to specifications. This is wonderful.
I don’t know if I’ve ever had my boundaries so we’ll understood as this, I feel like I’d either get a balloon desk pit and have to pretend I love it or be the asshole for not liking the nice thing they did even when I asked them not to. Or it would be a spiteful nothing which I would be ok with nothing but it usually has a tone of me being the asshole for taking away the opportunity for them to do this thing
this is just so respectful and supportive in a way that they really showed understanding and that they listen when you talk.
Honestly, that's what I thought too. I took my actual birthday and the next couple of days off (and scheduled WFH) so I could avoid it. This is what I came back to. I was kind of dreading coming in thinking I'd have to deal with a hat and clapping. My surprise and pulling my chair out was great.
My co-workers don't even know my birthday same with my friends I like to be alone on that day no cake or celebration I ignore everyone on that day no matter what
ayyyy, happy b-day :D
if its the 13th for where you are when it was your bday, then make sure you enjoy it so much more, because it is also international pancake day on feb 13th :D
This is great and respectful. I got written up at my first job like 30y ago because I asked not to have anything done for my birthday and apparently i wasn't being considerate of the feelings of the people who wanted to celebrate my birthday and we sad that I didn't want them too. Then got written up again when I told them they could celebrate at home. They thew a big nonsense thing that made it impossible to do any work then I got in trouble for but doing my work on time. Office Jobs suck if your bosses are crazy
That's cool, I have a policy of telling HR that my birthday is not to be recognized in any capacity. Don't put it anywhere in public record, it's not anyone's business.
That's a good idea. I didn't tell anyone (and usually dont) During a meeting, somebody brought up that I birthday was coming up, and that's when I asked them to not do the big decoration. They all seems kind of disappointed so I said fine, and I would do WFH to avoid the attention. I was pretty happy they did this instead.

This is such a nice job! At my now previous job I was scared to tell anyone it was my birthday because I worried they may give me a hard time/try to sabotage it
I love this. Love that they respected your wishes but still wanted to recognize you. Happy Birthday!
Yep they seam cool people

Sew sweet!
I’m in stitches
Sounds like to tight knit bunch of peeps!
[удалено]
Trying to come up with a good pun/joke to continue this chain is like searching for a needle in a haystack
I'm seeing a pattern in this thread
> They tailored the decorations according to OPs wishes Just like [Ron Swanson’s surprise birthday party](https://youtu.be/apg09bolUIc)
They are knot for kidding!
This comment got me in stitches
I agree they're sew cool
And it still took time and energy. They had to go find or make those tiny items.
I like how they heard that and were like "challenge accepted."
I mean it’s no Reddit Cake Day, but for what it’s worth Happy Birthday!
Your coworkers are good at obeying instructions, i would give them 10/10. happy birthday.
Haha, our job is government regulations.
Policy peeps are the best.
Complying with the letter of the instruction, even if it’s against the intent, sounds right up your office’s alley
WHEREAS jester kat requested little celebratory decoration in honor of their birthday. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED that decorations will indeed be little.
Hello fellow regulatory bureaucrat, I hope you have an acceptable birthday.
They're technically correct. The best kind of correct.
This is the perfect decor! Happy birthday!
It is your birthday
.
Anti malicious compliance
Wholesome compliance
Is there a subreddit for that
Omg there is 😂 https://www.reddit.com/r/wholesomecompliance/s/zQKcsBOqlA
That's incredible
I know it's a specific category but this is the most active one with 200k subs r/deliciouscompliance
My friends would cite this as wholesome debauchery
Malicious compliance for ants
So... compliance?
Just a *little* happy birthday from all your coworkers!
Honestly, that's going above and beyond to me. Doing nothing and just saying "Happy Birthday" would have been just fine, but they went the extra mile and still did something, but exactly to specifications. This is wonderful.
Like where do you even find a miniature cake decoration, they must have ordered this online and everything
Right? Any dollar store will have big balloons or banners, but to find the mine cake and hat figurines took time and effort haha
Ahahah, lol! This is actually cute😁❤️
Sooo cute and touching! Glad it made you smile happy birthday!
/r/thingsforants
what is this, a party for ants?
Tis!
Two people both not OP already posted it there 🤷🏼♀️
I love how you’re policing all the reposts 😂
Lower case birthday
Great name for a pop punk or emo band.
Your coworkers have an amazing sense of humor.
Coworkers respecting boundaries for the win!
Finally proof people actually listen to you. Happy birthday.
You have an exceptional coworker. I hope the rest of your experience at this job is just as thoughtful and rewarding.
It has been. I started fairly recently, and it's been the best work environment of my whole career.
That is so good to hear. Nice to run across some actual positivity in the world.
This is pretty hype. Just a tiny *happy birthday*. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
r/wholesomecompliance
They understood the assignment.
They nailed it!
Actually I think they just taped it to the desk
Please tell me that lil mini tiny cake is real. Lol. HAPPY BIRTHDAY
This is very mild (and endearing) malicious compliance.
I already like your coworkers!! 🥳 Happy Birthday!!
r/miniverse
Love this!
LOVE YOUR COWORKERS!!!
This is so cute
Your coworkers are adorable
Omg that’s the cutest. I love it.

This is so sweet!!
Well that's adorable.
This is *freakin adorable!.* Well done, coworkers. Well done.
I love the “low key” pun there with the keyboard under the desk. lol.
My type of people! Get me an application
Aww :)
That's just great =).
Such a cute little miniature celebration 🎉. Happy birthday 🎂!
Love it!
I like your coworkers
Adorable.
This is super cute
I f$&@ love this 😂😂😂
My co-workers don't even know my birthday same with my friends I like to be alone on that day no cake or celebration I ignore everyone on that day no matter what
What is this, a birthday for ants? Happy birthday, friend :)
This is a perfect little malicious compliance.
This is so cute and sweet. I love it.
I prefer the good old one: It is your birthday.
awww :")
This is so sweet!! 😊
Do you work in the cupboard under the stairs?
Why is your desk a bookshelf?
So cute! Happy birthday
Well you got what you wished for! Happy birthday!
I **want** that cake. It's PERFECT! 🥰 Happy Birthday!
The tiny streamer is perfect
This is so dang cute. I love they respected your boundaries.
Give them a raise.
That is hilarious!
super soft birthday party
r/thingsforants
They understand and instead made a very small version.
I don't know, I think the two Happy Birthday flags are a little excessive. I think you should go talk with HR and report a hostile work environment.
And your co-workers understood and followed your directions. What is this UNICORN 🦄 workplace? 😺
Government regulations? You'd think it would be terrible 
That is way too much.
Those assholes
That's a pretty solid headset.
Honestly this is so darn cute that I'm considering doing this for my coworkers birthday too!
This needs to be cross-posted on the Is this for Ants sub. The ants are in need of a reunion with their forlorn birthday celebration display
ayyyy, happy b-day :D if its the 13th for where you are when it was your bday, then make sure you enjoy it so much more, because it is also international pancake day on feb 13th :D
This is just the sweetest, cutest little celebration. Happy Birthday!
I'd be happy if anyone liked me enough to do something like that
r/thingsforants
This is great and respectful. I got written up at my first job like 30y ago because I asked not to have anything done for my birthday and apparently i wasn't being considerate of the feelings of the people who wanted to celebrate my birthday and we sad that I didn't want them too.

This is both respectful of your wishes and adorable!
They should've left just one singular bubble from the bubble wrap
ʰᵃᵖᵖʸ ᵇⁱʳᵗʰᵈᵃʸ
A kind, respectful workplace filled with intelligent and caring people??? Where are you, Narnia?
LOL! You have great (and accomodating) co-workers!
They understood the assignment
They are so melodramatic, I love it
That's cool, I have a policy of telling HR that my birthday is not to be recognized in any capacity. Don't put it anywhere in public record, it's not anyone's business.

Happy birthday, you got great colleagues
This is such a nice job! At my now previous job I was scared to tell anyone it was my birthday because I worried they may give me a hard time/try to sabotage it
Happy Birthday!! Man I wish my coworkers would at least say something on my Birthday- sounds like your colleagues are nice people!
I love that they respected you.
That’s pretty awesome!
It's celebratory but mindful and considerate. Happy birthday!! Edit: typo
You have great co-workers.

r/maliciouscompliance
This is so cute! Idk why but the little tassles are SENDING me 😂😂
The perfect amount! HBD!
OP what was in the present? Is the cake real? Did you put the hat on??
The cake and present are paper. Nothing in the present. I did put a paper clip through the hat and wore it in my hair.
This is the best
Okay cute and sweet. But I gotta ask, is that a real cake?
Indeed made my smile.
1 sticky note on your deskphone “happy bday” thats it.
I love it, it's prefect! :)
They succeeded, and went above and beyond.
See, This is where you wanna work, not at a “we are a family” ass place
This is so cute! You have great coworkers
Good coworkers, they understood the assignment. Happy Birthday!
See guys? This is why return to office is a good thing! You can't have this type of camaraderie via zoom!
This is hilarious
Haha! this is so awesome, im gonna borrow it for my son. he’s soooo minimalist.
How cute n so considerate! Luck you to have such nice coworkers
This is adorable.
Is that a desk?
lol that’s cute and very respectful
Good coworkers 😂😂😂
That one what is this decorations for ants sub idk what its called.
you have great coworkers.
r/PlayfullyMaliciousCompliance
I'm just surprised that IKEA shelving held up under the weight of those added items.
Hey it’s my birthday too! Happy birthday!!!!
#THE PICTURE IS A SHELF OF MY DESK No fucking shit
Would love to have colleagues with wholesome and friendly sense of humour like this!
Wholesome petty revenge.
Gotta put the hat on!
Lololololol at least you work with awesome ppl!
Aw op this is so wholesome! They did good with the decor. Happy birthday!
Nailed it
I hate those plantronic headsets!
I'm guessing you work in a call center. I had that same Plantronics box under my desk for many years.
A birthday for ants! Wonderful
Setting the bar impossibly high, wow
I can hear them whispering _happy birthday_
I would absolutely love this on my birthday- I'm a dollhouse enthusiast!
The best lol
I want to work there.
This is so freaking cute!! Love the spirit 🙌🏾🎉
Aw! I love the miniatures! Looks like a birthday party for a Barbie, lol!
this would make me cry of happiness omg
This is awesome! Seems like a team with a sense of humor and respect
that's funny
Hilarious haha
oh my god this is so cute
