Reed Hastings (CEO) has the view I like. Companies should be like professional sports team. If you don’t perform, you get cut.
The problem with the “family” analogy is that it implies unconditional love even when someone repeatedly fails. Or having that family member who’s a free loader and it’s ok.
Work should be about performing your best to achieve a collective goal and the sports analogy provides just that.

Having worked in a all-love-and-kindness-and-forgiveness German corporation and now in a young company with a lot of ambition, but definitely a sports team vibe I’d admit the latter yields more results, but they definitely come with a lot more stress in your life.
Depends on what you are up for I guess.
Good. Life is brutal and unforgiving. This modern cushy plush lifestyle that many of us enjoy is unnatural. A little toughening up and suffering is long overdue. A lot of it, for many people in the world.
Anyways, life for wild animals might be brutal and unforgiving, but mine isn’t. I’m pretty happy about that.
