In this episode of The Elephant in the Org, we’re tackling the controversial “work family” narrative. Is calling your workplace a family a sign of authentic connection, or is it just another way to blur boundaries and exploit loyalty?
Join Danny, Marion, and Cacha as they explore:
- The red flags behind the "work family" narrative.
- Why this language gives some people “the ick” and others a sense of belonging.
- How workplace culture can foster real bonds without manipulation.
- The fine line between psychological safety and toxic expectations.
From corporate love-bombing to performative culture, we’re breaking down what it really means to feel connected at work—and how companies can get it right (or very wrong).
