This is a great topic. One that is not discussed enough. Depends on your job. Are you a teacher or school admin dealing with difficult parents/students? Or are you struggling with something else , a personal growth issue, such as lack of executive function or is a co worker/boss unknowingly or covertly overwhelming you or setting you up to fail? Keep a journal of your triggers. Perhaps it’s an area for personal growth or time to look for different work. I wish you the best.
Just a nice reminder that we all manage stress and emotions differently. I read a bunch of comments saying ‘they’ve never cried’ and thats bs. I’ve cried often at past good and bad jobs.
Sometimes when I have been miserable at that role for sometime and I know I need a change but I also am staying a little longer for some longer term benefit, or sometimes I have just cried because even if I enjoy my job 90% of the days, I am overwhelmed with the level of responsibility it implies or a delivery or just had a crappy day and I just need a little breather and to decompress.
Not sure how you think about it but crying isn’t such a big deal to me. Think if its only a temporary emotional release or if its evidence of a structural problem in your job
Also Ive learned that doesnt matter how many times Ive cried, but I CANT let anyone see me cry. They will use it against me after
Find a new job, friend
I used to cry at my old job a few times a week. I finally left and never looked back!! It’s not worth it, don’t ever let anyone especially someone at work have that power over you.
Never did. Life is too short, look for something else.
I have cried twice in 8 years. I really believe you should look for a new job
i would have mini breakdowns 2-3 times a week then i’d go back to work like nothing happened:)
actively interviewing at the moment so please manifest this for me ❤️
I’m stressed at my job but I’ve only cried once in my 20 year career. You should not be crying over a job! I know jobs these days are super stressful. It’s probably not the right fit
On the positive side, some people are so emotionally stifled that they aren't even able to cry when they maybe should. Happy Monday and find a new job perhaps.
If your crying at work, you need to find a new job. Hey January hiring season is almost here!!!
Currently I’m in the same boat with you - I cry at least once a week from the stress alone, let alone bad calls. I’m currently trying to move to a different position within the company but they’re making it almost impossible at every turn.
I believe in you!
I’m sorry you are going through this. When I started my career in public accounting it was a huge adjustment for me coming from a small town because honestly some people were jerks, and nobody really did anything about it. It took me about a year to grow thicker skin but, I can’t say I cried more than once at work, but I can say I cried about work once a week or more for a few months. I did get thicker skin. That was almost 20 years ago, now a days people can’t get away with most of that stuff at work. If it is people being nasty- I’d recommend finding a new job. If you are struggling so more with the content of your job (workload, complexity of tasks, concentration) then I’d say make your best effort to get better if you want to try pushing forward to “make it” in this industry, for me it was certainly an acquired taste.
Almost never
And I do cry, just not about work. Try taking a moment and meditating or taking a walk when u get stressed and overwhelmed, also find a safe outlet to vent.
Never ever
It’s just a job. Stop caring so much.
I’m a stress cryer. Sometimes it’s the only release I have and it can be healing.
I just don’t let anyone see me cry at the office. Not saying it hasn’t happened in the last 25 years but very rarely.
Cultivate stoicism. It can be done. It will get much easier as you get older. Don’t take things personally. Be the cool one and let others look emotional if they attack. Do your best work but don’t beat yourself up.
Never cried at current job.
hope you find something better, OP 😌
Which company are you at?
