All the talk in the Arians press conference was about "family". I am cynical anytime I hear this word used in the workplace environment.
That's great until they don't need you anymore and then you are dropped like a bad habit. They cut off your computer access, tell you to pack your stuff and have a security guard walk you out. They drop you like a bad habit. That's not because you did anything wrong. It's just policy. So much for family.
Ask JP Petersen. Ask Dirk Koetter. Or my wife who is an admin or any number of readers on this board who have jobs in the real world and have seen this first hand. They knew going in that when it ends this is how it ends. So its not a surprise, but it still sucks.
I work in the public sector and its true there too. You are a part of the "family" or so they say, but when someone new comes in and you are not in their favor if they can't fire you they treat you like shit so you have to leave. One person might get a going away party, another they say don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. What happened? I thought we were family!
So much for "family." So that's the way it is in this world. Everybody knows it. But just FYI families take care of each other in good times and hard times. A family doesn't cast off somebody like garbage when they can't use them anymore. So all I'm saying is don't use that word because it sounds good, unless you really intend to keep the meaning of it on the back end.
