This video was quite enlightening. I never new that women produce the hormone that makes you cry more often or that they had smaller tear ducts which cause them to cry more frequently. I wonder why that is. I also found it interesting that tears are a natural behavior that helps the body go back to its emotional balance! This video was very informative about why we cry as well as how to handle tears in the workplace.

This video reminded me that women cry easier and more often than men, because we are made to do just that. Oh how awesome. Overall interesting video. I must admit that my physic tears makes me angry. When I am extremely angry, tears flow as if I am crying even though I'm not. Also, it is hard to ignore someone who is crying. When I see them, I can't just walk off as if I didn't see them crying. It bothers me. I have to ask of they are fine or would like to talk automatically, even if I don't like them.

I really don't know how to feel about the message of the video. For me it was too technical and need to be less complicatedd. However, I've cried at work once which was the day my grandma died. Other than that I don't remember the last time I've cried. I'm unsure if it because I have control over my emotions or I'm just an unemotional person. I've been this way since I was a young child. Lastly, the video was very unhelpful.

I have had this situation happen at work many many times, especially when you are dealing with a bunch a women. It can be a awkward situation when someone comes to you and this happens. Everyone is human and filled with emotions. I do believe that there are different types of tears in us and i never knew it till now but how she explains it does make since. I didn't really know the different types of things to do in this situation, but now I can use this to better know what to do for next time. I think we live in a more acceptable world to tears.

interesting video. tears do say a lot. it makes people wake up and rethink a situation. i actually cried at work once, but it wasn't because of other things on top the situation at work. most of the information in this video was interesting, although it didn't really provide much insight for how to handle them in the work place. i guess we just need to make sure that we don't judge others for needing to blow off some steam in the work place.

Crying at work or school is a terrible situation. I hate when this happens, just because I am the type of person who loves being happy and positive all of the time. Your work live and private life should be completely separate, but sometimes it's hard to ignore feelings and the urge to cry. When this happens, it's important to keep your composure as much as possible. There is no shame in letting your feelings show, but I do think your personal problems should not be talked about at work with coworkers. It is best to find a way for yourself to calm down, maybe step in the restroom for a minute, or excuse yourself for a quick walk outside.

This woman is so analytical. I really enjoyed her knowledge and thorough reasearch of the subject. I cried at work one time. It was the most devasting thing I had ever done. I was embarrassed and didn't know what to do to control myself. A customer upset me so badly, I went to the back office and balled my eyes out in front of my coworkers. They understood my pain and sympathized with me but it was so uncontrollable that I am glad I don't work there anymore.

I have never felt the need to cry at work nor would I want someone to cry in front of me at work. I don't really understand this video's lengthy discussion about tears and the different kinds because to me no kind has a place in the work place. I don't agree with what she's talking about when it comes to crying at work. It doesn't have any place in a high pressure work place. Go to the bathroom, let it out, then get back to it. Nothing about you crying is going to help your situation.

I believe it is best to leave your emotions out of the workplace. If you are feeling upset or stressed you should find an alternative to distract you from what is stressing you out. You can approach the situation by talking to a leader in hopes of eliminating the problem, but ultimately I believe the workplace is not somewhere to bring your feelings into.

Working with kids I have seen my fair share of tears every single day so I have definitely gotten used to dealing with them. I thought this video was interesting but I didn't understand the explanation of the types of tears at all. If someone is crying they're generally upset, I'm not going to analyze what type of tears they may be crying. I think that as a manager or person of authority it is important to know how to deal with people's emotions because you will see different ones everyday. Knowing how to act around those that are upset will help you to connect more personally with your employees and coworkers and be more sympathetic.

My dad always told me never to date anyone at work. I took this information and came to the conclusion that work was a place to be professional, no matter where you worked. Being professional, to me means not bring your personal life and personal problems and dragging them to work. Being emotional is something that cannot always be helped. Sometimes people cannot hold back their emotions and remain professional at work, including me. I was trying to quit smoking a few years back and I lost it as soon as I arrived to work. I cried and my boss asked me what was wrong and I told her the truth, but I was mortified. I had a really hard time trying to stop myself from crying because I was so embarrassed. I apologized to my boss like a million times and she was very understanding.

I believe that there should be a separation of feelings in the workplace and I believe that the heart shouldn't be involved in solving matter. This video is very informal in training on how to deal with emotions at the workplace. I believe that when a person enters the workplace that it should be a professional environment and that what ever situation that they are dealing with or handling should be left outside the work and should be handle with on there own personal time. but also in the work place we should also be professional in dealing with those who may be emotional at times in the workforce.

I surprisingly liked this video. I guess because it actually made sense. I never knew why women cried more than men. I guess I figured thats just how we are, not thinking of it biologically. Another reason I was intrigued by this video was her ways to handle tears at work. If you are a manager it is important to see to the needs of your employees. The last way to handle tears at work was to recognize that tears communicate a problem. Although all of her other points were significant I found that this one the most significant because if someone is moved to tears at work there has got to be some big problem they're being faced with and cannot control themselves.

Very good insight. I am terrible at handling that very situation. I especially like that she is shedding light on this topic. "never let them see you cry" has been something I think that all women have heard over their lifetime. I am not good with "cryers". But I think I will be better prepared after watching this.

I have never cried at work. That would not be the professional thing to do.
