At work I just heard the "we are a family" rhetoric.

My family are people I know and love and want to hang out with.

The people I work with are all lovely, and I like working with them. My choice to hang out with them is based on not starving, however.

I worked at Oracle during 9/11. Ellison sent an email saying "they are all family". 2 months later mass firings to keep da monez flowing.

When push comes to shove family stay with you. I mean the family you choose, not the one you didn't :)
