When my current corporation implemented Six Sigma a while back, my boss then went crazy over it. I was just an intern at the time and it just seemed so completely outrageous to me, it bordered on the surreal. He started using the term "value added" more every time he went to a 6S conference or whatever. It cracked my poo poo up in 30 Rock when they showed that the Six Sigma are actually six aging white men who completely embody the virtue they represent. One of them was "handshakefulness". Anyway, I don't mind my corporate job at all right now. I think corporate jobs have the same ups and downs as smaller companies, it's just when you have a lovely work environment at a corporation there's some obnoxious smiles-and-big-words campaign to help you decide to quit. I have great bosses and decent coworkers now so it's not too bad. That being said, I've grown pretty tired of things like, "I just wanted to touch base with you," because it usually means, "I don't remember the things you've been telling me every day for 6 months." The bonus is that I get really good at expressing the same like 4 or 5 thoughts really eloquently and my bosses, since they have forgotten altogether, are impressed every time.
