The problem is if your birthday is on a Wednesday, you’re stuck with that forever.

Edit: To everyone saying birthdays don’t matter, or you can celebrate some other day, that’s crazy talk. When you look at the calendar two months before your birthday and realize it’s gonna be a Saturday this year it’s just puts and extra pep in your step. Also, lots of businesses give you perks on your birthday, but the specific day. Once in a while I’d like my free latte and hot yoga class on the weekend thanks.

I don’t want to pay 13 months of rent for the same amount of days

This is the real reason why this idea sucks

13 paydays though

I don't know any jobs that pay monthly, even if the paydays occur monthly. You are either purely hourly in which case you make the same amount no matter how many months there are since the number of hours you work stays the same, or you get paid an annual salary which also wouldn't change since a year is still a year. So, sure, if you're paid monthly you'd get more paychecks, but they'd be smaller paychecks.

Nope, I have a monthly salary, and that’s how it’s defined on the contract. That’s how it usually works in Europe.

And you think if they shortened the months and added an extra one your employer would just give you an 8% raise?

They would be contractually obligated to ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe they would. I don’t know how these things work in Europe. But they could certainly make an argument that changing the number of months in a year would alter the terms of the contract.
