Companies saying "we're a big family here" are deeply amusing to me as someone who had a turbulent home life as a child and who only talks to his relatives once a year on Christmas.
I think the people saying this don't think about people who have a still-acrimonious relationship with their family. If you're telling me that you're a big family then I am not interested.
- jarsin 2y agoI was laid off with zero severance and no recommendation etc from a company that was big on "we are a family". Never heard from one single person there after the layoff. I was like yup this is how my family is too. Ever since I have always felt joining a company is like getting adopted into another dysfunctional family.
