That depends. A lot of them are. A lot of them have owners that actually treat you like family. Differentiating between the two based on signals during hiring

Differentiating between the two based on signals during hiring is almost impossible, though.
- nine_k 1y agoBut I don't want to be treated like family. In particular, I am not ready to have the same level of obligations towards my employers, even if these were reciprocated faithfully. I have my own family to which I'm always going to have a stronger loyalty than to any employer. A company as a group of close friends? Be my guest. A company that pretends that we have bonds of blood, or are married? Not for me (unless we're actually family, as in family business).
