My company loves to say we’re a family, but when people need support, flexibility, or understanding, that message disappears. Is ‘work family’ just another way to blur boundaries?

It’s a way to identify a toxic work place.

I hate that phrase! It just encourages to work more than you should

Work definitely isn’t family and they shouldn’t ever say that either. It’s a way to show control and blend boundaries which should be solid

I have been a software developer (professionally) for about 7 years now, but I’ve decided to move out from that job and do something else (still in tech).
I don’t know yet what to do exactly, but I know I just don’t want to be only writing code every day.
Tbh, I am scared. But I have set myself one year to learn something new.
I also want to go for a job that pays more (55k€ currently). I live in Paris, France, and software developers are not well paid.
Any suggestion for a career transition?
