- It’s good for the bottom line to convince employees that workplaces are families; it encourages loyalty and late nights at the office, instead of at home with our actual kin. But every job is an exchange of labor for compensation, no matter how many bean bag chairs are in the office. The moment you need more from your employer than they get from you, you become expendable, if you weren’t already. That may sound harsh, but it’s worth reiterating. As long as we live in a culture that expects us to love our work, it is vital to remember that work can’t love you back. (remote)
