Agreed. It's a psychological tactic to make their workers work harder. If your real family asked you to do a task that needed you to go out of your way to perform, you'd do it, because it's your family. Companies that try to push the 'we're like a family' angle are aiming to leverage you the same way.
No company does something for nothing. If your employer offers you something unexpected, always ask yourself, what's in it for them ?
- borski 5y agoYour last statement is a bit unfair, as it implies that their goals are necessarily non-altruistic. Often, what’s in it for them is increased employee happiness which leads to, yes, increased employee retention. That’s a win-win, and not evil.
- pessimizer 5y agoYou're the one bringing up "evil." The people you're replying to are simply saying that the company is selfish and does not love you.
