An apt comparison! Netflix, as a point of reference, talks about "team versus family" in their culture page:
> A dream team is one in which all of your colleagues are extraordinary at what they do and are highly effective collaborators. The value and satisfaction of being on a dream team is tremendous. Our version of the great workplace is (...) a dream team in pursuit of ambitious common goals
> If you think of a professional football team, it is up to the coach to ensure that every player on the field is amazing at their position, and plays very effectively with the others. We model ourselves on being a team, not a family. A family is about unconditional love, despite your siblings’ unusual behavior. A dream team is about pushing yourself to be the best teammate you can be, caring intensely about your teammates, and knowing that you may not be on the team forever.
Based on Meetup's slide deck, it sounds like they are trying to establish a high-performance culture with clarity of mission, when they haven't had that previously.

- kelukelugames 9y agolol, story time! I joined a new team where the members never eat lunch with each other. I don't like to eat with co workers every single day but I do want to chat with them casually once in a while. So I organized a team lunch. I'm not sure if anyone enjoyed it. =/
- jessaustin 9y agoHaha. If I don't know who the annoying office yay-work dude is, maybe it's me? Still, that guy never gets let go, no matter how little work-type work he does...
