The atmosphere was both festive and deeply moving. And of course, there were a few jokes aimed at the man who\u2019s always smiling and who often sees the bright side of things. I\u2019m told in my earpiece that his car was decked out in some lovely toilet paper (thanks, colleagues).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olivier is also known for hiding chocolates in the offices at Easter.

Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/philippe-marillaud-31561519\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/philippe-marillaud-31561519\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Philippe MARILLAUD<\/a> who, as Olivier explains, is committed to the well-being and harmony of his teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We asked him what his secret is to staying in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo last, you have to love what you do above all else. Of course, the salary is important, but it\u2019s not everything. For my part, I could never have gone to work reluctantly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, a new adventure begins for him. Photography, DIY\u2026 and even a hunting blind donated by Votat so he can fully enjoy his passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And finally, thank you, Olivier. For your dedication, your energy, and everything you\u2019ve brought to Votat. Thank you for staying on for one more year to share your knowledge and pass the torch. The whole team is looking forward to seeing your wildlife photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photography: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/erwan-marly-988923192\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/erwan-marly-988923192\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Erwan Marly<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/agencegraffiti\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/agencegraffiti\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Graffiti Agency<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olivier at Votat: it\u2019s the story of a journey that began almost by chance, as he was leaving a carnival, and turned into an adventure spanning 42 wonderful years.
