People Crying at work

Spot on - mistakes happen through lack of experience; experience comes from making mistakes. People should be allowed to make mistakes with sufficiently rigorous procedure in place to ensure that the mistakes aren't catastrophic. -
I've never cried at work, but I was taking care of some little bits left over from a large virtualisation project when the SAN threw a hissy fit. The root cause was **** all to do with me, but I was the only representative on-site and there was a moment when I very seriously considered simply packing up and leaving.Comment

People Crying at work
When someone goes off or gets sacked or is terminated, my initial thought is can I have his monitor if it's better than mine....Originally posted by GlenW View PostSeeing other people crying at work does offer the hope of an extension to cover them going to a loony bin for a while. Every cloud and all that.

Already did that at where I am now, gave me a warm feeling at the time knowing I was being positive and forward thinking.Originally posted by stek View PostWhen someone goes off or gets sacked or is terminated, my initial thought is can I have his monitor if it's better than mine....I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful.

I went back into work after the weekend when my daughter nearly died 8 years ago. It was a shocking weekend.
I found myself getting upset during the middle of the day, so took myself off into the toilets, choked back a couple of tears before going back out and punching out the PM.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
