I’ve spent my entire career so far working with bosses that tell me I’m family, but treat me like dirt and discard me at the very first sign of an economic downturn.

They say 'family' hoping you'll think Ward & June Cleaver, but there's a lot of families out there I want nothing to do with. Come in drunk & beat the shit out of the partner. Lose the rent money on DraftKings. Little hanky-panky with the kid. When the boss wants to be family, that's what you should think about.
