Get It Off Your Chest - Are Workplace Birthday Celebrations Getting Out of Hand?

On Get It Off Your Chest, listener Claire has had enough of the constant workplace birthday celebrations.

Is it time to ditch the forced birthday fun in the workplace, or are these little celebrations actually a nice part of office life? We debate the work birthday etiquette and ask whether anyone genuinely enjoys singing Happy Birthday around the office!
