Lazard Analysts Given ENTIRE Weekend Off

This stunning footage was taken moments after Lazard brass announced an unprecedented entire weekend off for their analysts after a grueling 23-day back-to-back string of all-nighters. Most analysts were confused at first; one simply doesn't take both Saturday and Sunday off. But the obvious joy they feel after the initial shock of natural sunlight burning their eyes and skin is a sight to behold. Of course, there's always that one guy who hangs back in the office looking for a little more face time. Don't be that guy.

Anyone else curious why these chimps weren't let outside? (The actual primates)

I like the analogy that you used, Chimps as the subject where the chimps are allowed to go outside, like week given off by Lazard. And there is one Chimp who is hesitant to come outside may be that's the guy you are reffering to odd one.Cool Narrative.
