boss said ‘we’re like a family’ 🚩

Okay, so my boss literally just hit me with the 'we're like a family here!' line today. My internal alarms are blaring. Is it just me, or does that phrase pretty much translate to 'expect unpaid overtime, no boundaries, and guilt-tripping if you try to live your life'? Asking for a friend (it's me, I'm the friend). 😩🚩 #CorporateRedFlags #WorkLifeBalance #GenZProblems

OMG, hard relate! Every single time I hear that, my spider-sense for toxic work culture just starts tingling. It's never a good sign. Run, don't walk! 🏃‍♀️💨

No cap, that's code for 'we own your soul now.' Had a boss like that once, they expected me to come in on my day off for a 'team bonding family picnic' and then guilt-tripped me when I said no. Like, my actual family doesn't even do that. 🤢
