Swiss Office Politics

Have you heard of the holiday Epiphany?

Like how Easter to some families is more about chocolate eggs than Jesus rising from the dead, let me explain to you first hand what it's all about in my experience. On January 6th, people in French and German (and others?) speaking part of Europe make a cake with one or two little figurines inside. If your piece of the cake has a little figurine inside - congratulations! You are now King for a day.
