Hi ,

First of all...I would like to say sorry for Wednesday evening when I sent you an empty email.

At least you know that I was thinking about you 🧡

After that...I would like you to imagine the feeling of being betrayed by your own family...

Why do I want you to do that?

The family idea of Tech Companies

Over the past two weeks, a total of 40,000 employees have been laid off from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.

For years, the tech industry cultivated an attitude among its workers that they were part of a family working toward a common goal.

They promise their employees something in addition to a feeling of purpose — a sense of security.

Now, over the course of a few months, the same companies who helped foster the family mindset have been the ones to crush the illusion.

The toxicity of the "family" idea

Family evokes not just a closeness but a devotion and a lasting bond, infused with sacrifice: family comes first.

This idea makes workers feel like they shouldn't request time off, ask for more money, or raise complaints about bad behavior in the workplace.

Now imagine what happens when those same organizations decide it's time to reduce head count. 

So what is the solution?

Research has found that creating a culture of trust can help create a healthier and more productive work environment.

An ideal workplace dynamic is where employees feel like their organization cares about their needs, like they have a voice, and like they're treated fairly and respectfully.

Where employees don't put off vacation and don't put off health.

Now... what am I supposed to do?
