   There are relatively small companies (<200 employees) that are usually family   
   businesses run by one daddy who is company president, and his peculiarities   
   are essentially the corporate culture, do or die.  The corporation will then   
   have the same    
   dysfunctions as his family.  The employee turnover is usually very high in   
   these situations.
