As the other commenter wrote: work is for work. It is not a place for your personal issues. It's almost as if our language even has different words: friend vs. colleague.
If colleagues become friends, that's fine. However, if you only want to work with friends, that is unprofessional.
And of course, the whole "we're not a company, we're a family" BS is just a ruse to get you to put in extra time for free. If you're lucky.
If you're unlucky, they are actually so delusional as to think they mean it. They cannot actually mean it, because a company is fundamentally different from a family, and when push comes to shove, that nature will assert itself and many a tear will be shed as the illusion pops.
