Families At Work?

Whoever said that companies are like families? They're as different as different can get.

There's no place for feedback forms and evaluations in families.

There are no monthly meetings, no motivational speeches, no reward systems.

Emotions are unchecked and vicious words are flung with reckless abandon.

There are no efforts to make the environment pleasant.

Most importantly, there are no hirings of potential employees and no firings of incompetent ones.

In my family, at least.
