&gt; The first really great company I worked at was explicit about being family-oriented; they&#x27;d bring everyone&#x27;s family to the office and cook dinners, had Christmas at the founders house, that sort of thing.<p>This sounds horrid. I don&#x27;t want to spend Christmas with my <i>boss</i>, and I definitely don&#x27;t want to have dinner in the office, <i>ever</i>.<p>&quot;Sorry Grandma, can&#x27;t make it for Christmas, have to go see my boss instead&quot;?
