Not always. I just feel like it's more of a cliche than anything else, at least in my experience.

I find it to be cliche as well, I have noticed it’s been a trend on Instagram reels etc. that “if a organization says they’re “family” stay away”

funny

It depends…sometimes the “family” culture seems toxic. For instance, being asked to be loyal and overlook wrongs because we’re “family.” Extreme example - the “family” in the show Yellowstone when you get a brand and keep the family secrets to protect the family at all costs regardless of what is morally right or wrong.

Family corporations are no more toxic than your own family.

100000000000%. I always feel like when they say we are a family it is a big red flag.

Yes. It's crossing a boundary, work is work and family is family. That doesn't mean that work can't be fun, or that everyone can't get along and help each other. It just means that there's still a sense of professionalism in the relationship between employee and employer. For me it's a red flag.

My director gave me a 45 day termination warning. I had a random 1:1 with my director last Friday. She essentially told me I have 45 days to increase my activity (I’m a recruiter that gets measured on daily metrics.) After the 45 days if I don’t meet these requirements I will be terminated. As you can imagine I am panicking a little bit, I’ve confided in a few coworkers and they told me to start looking for a new job because even if I meet these metrics I could still be fired. Any advice?

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.
