"we work hard but we play hard" might eclipse "we're like a family" in my "corporate red flags" list. i neither work nor play hard, thank you. i go to bed at a reasonable hour. sometimes i watch murder mystery tv with dinner. other times i do not.
@Birdbassador we work hard but we play hard and we pay minimum wage because we are required to comply with the law, and we follow the law, don’t we, fam?
@Birdbassador "we binge drink and hit the gym excessively to feel something after mind-numbing 10-hour days" just doesn't have the same ring to it
@Birdbassador The guy who used the "we're a family" line was not the worst boss I ever had, but he was the most self-serving and smarmiest.
