Helena Handbasket

By Tivoli

Everyone who has a desk allocated to them has been bought one of these.
That's 750 in Henley and 450 in London, making a total of 1,200.
People who work from home, or who hot-desk, are not entitled to one, but I am, despite the fact that I am an out-sourced contractor.
The gifts were placed on all named desks over the course of the weekend so they were waiting for staff when they arrived this morning.
Except, of course, that even those who do have allocated desks rarely attend the office, particularly on Mondays.
And therefore, anyone who did arrive this morning, went on an Easter egg hunt and by the time I arrived, a little before 9am, there were several overpaid bankers upset about the fact that they hadn't received an egg and demanding replacements.
When he was about twelve, my younger step-son would try to take more than his fair share of any available chocolate, he's 41 now and outgrown that kind of nonsense, but then like footballers, bankers are burnt-out by the age of 40.
I'm beginning to understand why.
