A boss at a retail store said that too me, I asked if it meant he wouldn't fire us if he had too...
His silence told me the answer.

Most places it's a red flag
At the school they don't say it but they do emphasize on the fact they care about people so there's that

No. Its a facade subconsciously trying to ingrain loyalty to the workplace akin to a family.

Its bullshit. They dont care about you.

Fuck no.

People say this all the time in the military and maybe it's just been my career but I haven't seen a whole lot of it, just people trying to get theirs usually and *maybe* if you're lucky it's not an outright toxic work environment.

And my wife's experience has been even worse with the backstabbing, sudden no-notice layoffs, artificial shit like everyone being forced to write thank you notes to each other every week and then talk about how they did this as a positive thing.

Actions speak louder than words.

Some workplaces its true most places its not and if you find a place where it really is true you will realise it long before anyone even thinks of saying it out loud.

Youd have to be a moron to believe that.

The one exception is if you are literally working at a family-owned business and you are, in fact, a family member.

My company said that a lot when I started. It's a red flag that people will gossip and take advantage of others.

Havent heard that phrase in several years now.

If they use the word family, find a new place to work.

You have a sense of obligation to your family whether it's profitable to you or not. Your sister got locked out of her car? You drive and pick her up whether it puts money in your wallet or not. That's the kind of loyalty they want from you -- but it's not the kind of loyalty they'll give back.

Depends on the workplace. Some are actually cool as shit and will cover for you. Other kinds are just full of backstabbers trying to snitch and worm their way up the ladder >_>
