The perfect worker for them oh god lol.
The term "airfam" is such a weird thing, people saying 'Thanks fam!" these days... I am not your family, I will not lend you 20,000$ if you in a rough spot, I will not take care of your kids if you die. Maybe I just take the word 'family' too literally hah, maybe a bad habit from expecting variable names to do what they are called
- dvtrn 5y agoMy friend I’ve got certain members of my own actual blood family that I wouldn’t lend $20,000 to. “Families” can be wonderful. But blood families can be just as abusive, as manipulative, aggrandizing and as toxic as the “work” family.
