Shopify, like any other for-profit company, is not a family. The very idea is preposterous. Family is about
support without motive, and as a business, we will always have a primary motive of ensuring the economic success
of the business. It should be massively obvious that Shopify is not a family but I see people, even leaders,
casually use terms like “Shopifam” which will cause the members of our teams (especially junior ones that have
never worked anywhere else) to get the wrong impression. The dangers of “family thinking” are that it becomes
incredibly hard to let poor performers go. Shopify is a team, not a family.
