“Oh Happy Day” is repeated about 5,000 times. It is sometimes punctuated by “When Ernst & Young showed me a better way,” “show leadership” and, “working together.” In the background the employees sing and laugh, interspersed with black and white video of employees enjoying a mass dinner and executives carrying folders.
