Depends...why were you crying?

Nope, but you may need a new project. I've been there before.

I've left work crying multiple times 💯💯💯

No. I have see people tell clients to go F*** themselves and stay

It means you are dealing with shit leadership who instead of grooming and developing you trying to put you down infront of others or in person.. basically if leadership is being nice with tough words that's reality check to improve yourself but if they r rude and authoritative and demanding an answer then it's time to change a project and find a decent one
