It certainly can feel more that way when the majority of employees have worked together in the same place for decades, when management has gone out of their way multiple times to accommodate individuals as difficult personal issues arose, and when most of the staff aren't constantly searching for better pay elsewhere. I have seen it.
However, I think that sort of situation is very much an increasingly rare exception, and unfortunately most of the managers using this kind of language are blowing hot air. It's like success or 'greatness', if you feel compelled to keep telling everyone you have it, you probably don't.

Despite the pay having been quite low, I actually enjoyed working there enough that I always have it in the back of my mind to go back one day. It's such a rare privilege to work in a place where you feel like everyone gets along and you're really a team working together, rather than individuals trying to meet deadlines under the same employer
