Is it ever ok to cry at your desk? – Arabian Business

Yes, it’s true. I cry at my desk. No, not at home (okay, yes, I also cry at my desk when working from home…often), but at work. In an office. In view of almost 40 people.

If you’ve never cried at your desk, you might think this is madness, possibly the worst thing you could do in the workplace, but in all honesty, it’s created more positives than negatives.

I don’t cry every day. That would be a problem, right? I run a high-pressure, fast turnaround agency. I have responsibilities that weigh heavy on my shoulders.
