I have never cried at work but I have seen people cry at their work before. If someone cries at work, go try and help them. Find out what is wrong whether it's work related or personal. Everyone gets pushed to a point where their emotions give in. That's just our human nature kicking in. Some people don't cry as easy as others but that is just the way it is.

So far, I have never been to the point of tears in the office. I have however, had a few moments where a coworker cried to me or in front of me. I do agree with the video that crying in the office should be accepted. This is true, but I was raised to never let the competition see you weak, so I personally would have to hide it. In some professional settings, I think it would be best if you have the urge to cry to take it to the restroom instead of crying in front of coworkers or a customer. I have always tried my best to acknowledge the person crying and help them out any way I could.

I think employees should try their best to keep themselves together while in the workplace. I understand that crying is a natural emotional reaction, but I personally think it shows weakness. If you are in a position where you desire to be promoted and you cry every time the water gets deep in the workplace, you will prove to your supervisor that you cannot handle multiple task or responsibilities. Also, I feel as a future manager I would be less likely to have sympathy if an employee came up to me balling their eyes out. There is a time and a place for everything.

I've seen a few people crying at work. Once i was at a meeting with my boss and another manager and the other manager started crying. My boss and I did not know how to react. It was more surprising that someone needed a day off that bad and had to bring emotion into it before just asking. I think that maybe more was going on in the person life and they just need a reason to cry and asking for a day off was the catalyst.
