      I joined a " we are family" company and got shouted at by the founder because I wasn’t a mind reader and didn’t do something I had no idea needed done.

      Sounds exactly like family, except I was hired into the position of toddler.

      Fuck that noise.

        I’m reminded of this guy I fired after he ghosted me when he no-call-no-showed.

        “Wait? You don’t treat everyone like family?”
        “No. I treat everyone like employees.” The look on his face was kinda priceless.

        (For the record, I do try to take care of my employees, and the minimum there is paying what they’re worth- but the relationship is definitely employer-employee. The relationship is inherently transactional; pretending otherwise is exploitation)
