Well, this is something I saw that was - you have to admit - fairly cult like, and had to do with Arthur Andersen. Last May I was downtown (Dallas) and saw several Arthur Andersen employees on lunch break. they were wearing orange t-shirts that said "I AM ARTHUR ANDERSEN" on them. I don't know if these were high-level employees or lower level peons, but I thought it was pretty disgusting, regardless. I felt bad for the workers that had to work in such an environment, who perhaps did not want to go along with such "team spirit," but felt pressured to do so because of fear of getting fired or reprimanded.
How's that for an unscientific, personal anecdote, by the way?
Anti-cultishly,
Brian
