This is probably just a matter of how one defines "family".
On one level there's my "real", immediate family (my spouse, my children). On another level there's my "real" extended family (parents, other blood relatives). On yet another level there's my "adopted" family (close friends, their children, etc.)
It's pretty easy to see certain coworkers moving into the adopted family category.

Co-workers compete with each other to get promotions/salary increases etc. If I see an opportunity at work, I won't share/tell to another co-worker, I have no incentive to favor them vs myself. It does not work like that for my "close and extended family". The best I can do is to, once in a while, go out and have a beer, but even then I honestly don't really enjoy spending time with my co-workers. Sorry to be brutal, but I just don't care. Every single time I left a company for a new opportunity, 99% of those co-workers that looked like "friends", they all systematically just vanished. Then you realize that they just needed you to get things done. Yeah, so work is work.
