(From my course: "What firms wish you knew before you started your contract https://financeinstyle.teachable.com/p/new-trainees-what-do-firms-wish-you-knew)

Companies often talk about themselves as "families". "We're like a family"; "We treat eachother like family". This sounds attractive, obviously. 
BUT... this is dangerous. It creates certain subtle expectations, not least of which is "why aren't I being treated like family when things go wrong?!"; or "Why don't you care what I'm going through?"
