Dear Annonymous,
employers are doing a lot for employee retention. Birthday is very special day for every human being and your company have policy of celebrating it in lot on some other day. Never heard of such practice. Please let go if someone ate pastries in your pantry as if you take action on someone for celebrating birthday they will feel guilty for being born on that day. god bless your company.

In my point of view, Celebrating employees birthdays are for motivating and engaging employees towards their job. If no job is affected with his activity, then nothing is wrong in this.

I think, the incident is being blown out of proportion. If friends who are also colleagues, celebrate their birthday among themselves, while on their tea break or an extra tea break, so how can that be a violation of the policy?
The company may have a policy of celebrating all birthday's together at the end of the month, so as an HR initiative, please celebrate it, but how can you stop them to celebrate the event among themselves, while on their breaks.
So, in the entire scenario what is that the HR was so annoyed about, i think, it is the ego speaking and nothing else, had i been the employee, i would have resigned at the same moment, when the HR asked me an explanation. This is just saying that you are robots and not humans and do only as per my command.
