> "Family" doesn't mean employing you past the point it makes sense
Actually family does mean that, literally. It makes absolutely no sense to use this term in a business context.

I agree that the "family" metaphor breaks down around termination of employment (whether initiated by employee or employer)
What I was trying to say in the line you quoted, that IN THE WORK CONTEXT nobody uses family to imply permanent employment - it's strictly about how you are with each other while there. Which is still a big deal.
Of course you treat family members well when they "deliver" for you, the real part is when they can't deliver and you still support them.
It breaks down the second you actually compare your family to your company. I think that basically every single person would do many, many things for members of his family that he wouldn't do for the members of his company.
