to correct my boss?

[luckylucky24]

I just got a "happy birthday" text from my boss. My birthday is tomorrow :) I am on mat leave so no embarrassing cards will given or declarations in the office to cause embarrassment.
Debating whether or not I should text back saying "Thank you, but it is tomorrow" or just "thank you".

Just say thank you. When you are back at work go in and let him know the right date and that way it won't be a problem next year.

Don't go and tell him.

Seriously, you'll look like a birthdayzilla and everyone will laugh and forget on purpose next year.

And worrying about what will happen next year is more than a tad weird tbh. You might not be in the same job, we might all be dead after the zombie apocalypse hits....who knows?

It's a total utter non-issue. Really.

Personally just say thank you.

I seriously wouldn't be worried about what may or may not happen next year!

raffles holger then
The boss is female.
I've not had coffee so excuse me being the picky one.
user this pic is for you. No need for the insults (maybe you need coffee too).

Just say thanks. It's nice of your boss to even text you.

My phone/fb notifications tell me a day early I'd just assume that and say thankyou

Are people really this picky with bithday acknowledgements, especially from someone who isn't a close friend or immediate family, like a colleague you probably won't see again for several months of leave??? If someone from work texted back to 'correct' my apprehension of when his/her birthday was, I would think said person was a loon, and had no social skills...

Just say thanks. If you haven't taken baby in maybe offer to bring baby in with cake?

See I personally would reply with thanks but it's tomorrow. If you have a friendly enough relationship with your boss that they're texting you happy birthday I don't think it seems rude to say thanks but correct them!

OP I think say thank you and you have two options (1) say thank you and yes I cant wait for tomorrow! Or (2) say thank you and when you get back to work check with the colleague who has the birthday list (there is always one!) and make sure your date is recorded correctly (whilst pretending you are checking other people's due to baby brain) I think your boss sounds great to have at least tried and got so near . I got brain fog the other week and sent HB message a week early and was corrected abruptly and I then proceeded to send it a day late to the same person despite their correction. Thoughtful of me to remember at all! Happy birthday and enjoy your day x

"Thank you, Boss, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow! Only 29 again!"

Reply tomorrow with a thank you.
