Getting personal for a minute:
If a company describes itself as "a family"

RUN! It's a huge red flag.

I'm 54 and am of the generation told to go to college, land a good job, work your way up "the ladder," and remain until you retire.

I quickly discovered that is capitalist propaganda.

During my 20-year corporate career, I experienced overt and subtle racism, and denial of career advancement opportunities.

I witnessed inexperienced and untrained individuals be hired and promoted due to nepotism. I've witnessed folk sleep their way to being promoted. I've dealt with toxic bosses, inane office politics, and shifty business practices.

Several years before the pandemic, I began working for myself, remotely. BEST decision I've ever made. My intent is to never work in a corporate office again.

Companies do not care about you. Period.

@eosfpodcast Just ran into this myself - company laid the “family” stuff on THICK…

Was told my team / my role was being impacted by layoffs as I was driving to the airport to fly to MD Anderson to be with my brother’s wife while she died of cancer, something management knew I was doing that morning.

Got a card in the mail after my sister in law passed wishing cool vibes on the death of my wife.

If they say: “we’re a family here”
You say: “we want a union”
