It could depend on whether crying is sincere, or being done as a manipulation. And if sincere, use sparingly. It’s generally off-putting to almost everyone around you.
I used to manage call centers. These were offices with 500 or so agents each in multiple locations. The staff was probably 85% female.
Someone crying at work usually happened on a day ending in “y.”
No one really gave the “act” much thought. Obviously we would verify why they were crying. Most of the time it had little to do with work.
And, abandoning “old-school idea that professionalism means leaving emotion at the door” is how you can spot a corrupted system and a batch of incompetent DEI hires.
I once supported a project where the Colonel in charge cried on several occasions. At one point, she started crying in a staff meeting because it was snowing and she was worried about her driveway.
I left the project shortly after that. I won’t work for someone I don’t respect. My view later shifted a bit: I decided I would never work for a woman. The new boss is a woman? I’m out the door.
The women claimed they wanted to be treated as equals by men in the world of work, but they expect to be allowed to cry like little girls at the office.
Suck it up, buttercup. Take it like a man, or go home.
Exactly.
Well said.
The BBC hopelessly woke, doing everything they can to prop up the left wing politicians and the Starmer government.
I’m a nurse. Seen a lot of and that’s just working with sadistic dysfunctional nurses - aside from some of the best of us. I also taught high school.
I haven’t cried at work yet.
The article seems insane, but the comments here reassure me that normals still exist with standards of behavior that make the world work smoothly.
Yes
There is No crying at work.
😉
It’s OK for chicks.
