But blurring the boundary between work and family can come at a cost.
They add:"It might feel enticing, but it is deeply manipulative and, more often than not, a means to narrativize paying people less to do more work.
"Sometimes leaders use this sort of language, like, 'We're all part of the same family,' in a way that's inauthentic and, in fact, makes people disengage," King told me."The idea that, 'Oh, we're all part of a family, but I'm going to ask you to work crazy hours and for little pay, and I'm not going to treat you with respect' — it rings untrue.
"That layoff feels not only impersonal, but it can feel dehumanizing," said Sylvia Bonilla Zizumbo, a career and leadership coach who spent 17 years at Google before launching her own company three years ago."It's a blow for those who are laid off but also for those that are still with the company."
