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.

good one sir, i know the video, but you had the idea :)
edit: cant stop laughing
I think that's how most tax accountants feel coming out of their offices on April 16th.
Awesome.
Anyone else curious why these chimps weren't let outside? (The actual primates)
They were lab test chimps.
Banking jokes aside... Fuck, that is depressing. I'm getting misty eyed.
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.
You're gonna go far in this business.

"Then they realized what has happend. They can hardly believe their luck."
That intern is like, "Should I do it, should I go, guys?
Excuse me for being obtuse but why does this apply to Lazard in particular? Do they have a reputation for working analysts harder than most?
Yes.

Hilarious.
Simply great!
Very funny! Bravo!
Great video.
Could it be they've been let go because Financial Advisory operating revenue of $168 million for first-quarter 2013, was down 39% from prior-year period; M&A down 37% for the quarter ?
Love it.
Roll, roll, roll me, and call me the tumblin' dice

This is golden, although to be fair my friends at Lazard actually have decent hours relative to some of the BBs.
+1. Good hardy laugh.
