Today’s topic is a tearjerker … potentially. So grab your tissues, and let’s dive into the results of Monster’s recent Crying at Work Poll. Let me ask you a question: Have you ever cried at work? If so, you are part of the overwhelming majority.

She explained that “sometimes something horrible [is] going on in your personal life and you find out at work and it’s natural to cry.”
