New Delhi: Has your boss ever told you that he considers you part of his family? At some point in our work, we have all been given the “We are a family” vibe by your employers. It turns out that when a man quit his underpaying job, his boss played the “family card” and made him feel guilty about leaving the job.

X user Siddharth shared in a tweet that his cousin’s boss went crazy after he resigned. “My cousin eventually left an underpaid job that he held for almost a decade. The boss is angry and blames it maine tumko bhai se badhkar mana,” He wrote.

Siddharth asked, ‘Toh bhai jab itna mana hai aur dukhi hai uske job chhorne se toh business me partner bana le fir?!”

The X user then went on a rant about how employers use uncle, bhaiya, didi to exploit workers in the workplace. “Don’t increase the salary, don’t say we are like family and fool the workers. Unnecessary ‘family ties’ at work to save on overtime and extra work,” he said.

Siddharth noted that professionalism is important at work. “No didi bhaiya. The company will never be yours. It’s just a trap,” he added.

The X user then shared an instance from his work life. When he signed a contract, the contractor told him, “From today we are like brothers.” However, Siddharth distanced himself from the ‘unnecessary mental baggage’ and replied, ‘We will be like brothers once the contract is completed. It is a professional relationship because there is money involved.’

We are not family!

He went on to say that the contractor doesn’t like him very much, but that there is “complete clarity in conversations and discussions regarding the work.”

Netizens tell

The post has gone viral on the microblogging platform and has been viewed more than 43,000 times. Netizens took to the comments section to share their thoughts.

One user said: “This is good news and I have been the victim of this kind of patronizing talk in the past.” Another wrote: ‘We need to learn to keep money and relationships separate. Business means business.”

A third user added: “Very common…also never believe in any verbal promise of future promotion from any boss. If you’re good enough, let him do it now. I learned it the hard way. People who are loyal to companies are paid the least in India. Job hoppers are the highest. Ghar ki murgi daal barabar.” Yet another commented, “It’s just a way to emotionally force someone to undervalue themselves. Nothing more than emotional blackmail.”
