and I'm so annoyed with myself.

I've been having a few health problems, just about managing to keep it together at work until today when it just got too much.
Cried in front of my toxic manager which I'm so annoyed about, I have some lovely supportive colleagues and couldn't care less about crying in front of them but it had to be in front of my manager.

Aww, don't worry about it @user67534778. I'm sure most of us have at some point. What was the reaction of your manager?

Oh no I’m sorry!
Honestly I know it’s embarrassing at the time but a lot of people have cried at work at one time or another. It’s horrible to feel vulnerable in front of colleagues, let alone nasty managers - but as time passes it’ll fade 💕

I'm a manager have been for quite a few years now. Lots more people have cried to me/in front of me at work than you'd ever imagine, sometimes for work related reasons, often for personal ones, from entry level to senior management. It's ok, you're human and going through a tough time.

I cried loads infront of toxic people at work when I was pg, tbh I didn't go back but I did have to see them loads before I actually went on mat leave.

Fuck them! Honestly it won't matter in a week

I think she felt more awkward than I did 😩

Don't be embarrassed lovely. If it helps, I cried in front of my manager too on Friday. They shouldn't think any less if you for it 💐

Don’t worry about it, honestly most of us have done it at some stage.

I had a customer call me a stupid cunt last Monday, cried for about an hour in the office afterwards!

Feel for you. Try not to worry. Just being a human isn't it xxx

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes it's really hard to control, isn't it? Stay strong. A lot of us are struggling atm, for obvious reasons.

I cried in front of my horrible a manger when my lovely dad was diagnosed with cancer. She poked me!

I once cried in front of my boss. He was lovely about it. I think we were both embarrassed. You may not be the first
