My first week at my current tech job, our ceo gave a little presentation. He said, and I quote, “we ain’t a family. I like everyone here, but make no mistake: we’re a business”
We’re a pretty small (bout 150 at the time) company.
I really really enjoyed that honesty from him.
Family that doesn’t want to give you overtime pay, paternity leave, two-week notice before termination, etc., etc.
TbF, my family totally wouldn’t want to do any of that either
“Now that I birthed a child, I need paternity leave from my family. I spent that time with my chosen family at work. Can you look after my baby in the meantime?”
“That’s a reason for me to break up. Here is my 2 weeks notice.”
Had to make sure that wasn’t the Aeon Flux eye. Very different context.
Thank you!! I was trying to figure out why I felt like I know this image, but it looked off for some reason
Being in charge doesn’t make you smarter, better, or give you the authority to do anything beyond the job description. Implying family is bullshit and those who you convince they are family have just been set up to be taken advantage of by someone who doesn’t love you.
