- Family rhetoric is manipulation to prevent organizing
- Real families don't lay you off for quarterly earnings
- Emotional manipulation makes business decisions harder
- It's a transactional relationship stop pretending otherwise
Disagree
- Some small companies genuinely care about their people
- Workplace community matters for daily happiness
- Cynicism about everything is exhausting and sad
- Bad companies don't invalidate good company cultures
