Sure, generalizations about 80,000+ people are suspicious. I noticed variations in the degree to which Andersen employees bought into the whole "we're just a team" ideology, variations by both geographic area (Dallas seemed less "team" than Chicago, for example) and by position in the corporate structure, which is probably pretty typical.

No, I agree re: Chicago; their boosterism was a well-known fact about Andersen corporate culture, at least as Dallas/Denver/LA/Seattle understood it.
I was really just looking for an excuse to ridicule KPMG paying money -- reportedly a lot of it -- for such an incredibly stupid song, then requiring people to listen to it at the start of meetings, etc. That always made me wonder why they'd want as employees people dumb enough to be taken in by such inanity.
