Here’s a confession: At some point, almost every day, I am at my desk or in a meeting and feel an urge to burst into tears and become an IRL version of the Kim K. crying meme. These in-office ugly cries can be triggered by anything— my boss not liking my idea or an e-mail I sent prematurely (so many typos!).
If you’re guilty of puddle-on-the-keyboard workplace meltdowns too, take heart because we’re not alone. Forty-one percent of women report that they’ve cried on the job, according to a survey conducted by Anne Kreamer, author of It’s Always Personal: Navigating Emotion in the New Workplace. Translation: a hell of a lot of people. Which made us wonder: What’s the best way to deal with these sob fests? And can you spin those tears into something positive, dare we say, empowering? Put your tissue box aside and find out what we discovered...
