> Like a family, eh? So let us see who from my office turns up and does my daily groceries, takes care of my kids and cleans my house if/when I am suffering from a sickness - doesn't even have to be a prolonged case, a few weeks would do.
It's a simile/metaphor, not a literal statement.
When they say like a family they mean treating each other with kindness, friendship and compassion. They don't mean that everyone has to be around each others houses at Christmas.
Everyone should try to have a heart of gold to their other coworkers (To be clear, this is a metaphor and doesn't mean that you should replace your own heart with one manufactured from gold. It would be an unsuitable material to build an artificial heart from).
