Boss demands employee ‘evaluate’ whether leading people is for him after getting too emotional in a meeting, employee is left wondering if he still has time to flip the script: ‘Everything doesn’t scream trust. We have lost this trust in you.’ – FAIL Blog

To play devil’s advocate here, yes, of course, crying in front of your colleagues in a call because somebody got kicked out, especially as a team leader, can “derail the team’s emotional stability’’ and leave everyone wondering if they’re next. But can’t we be given a chance to evolve? Ok, I might be taking things way too personally here because this happened to me. I cried at a meeting once, and my tears seemed to be the drop that overflowed the glass, so I got kicked out shortly after that, and they had to find another employee. This always confused me because I was, and still am, very good friends with all my team from back then, and we worked very well together. I was honestly just having a bad day, but I came to the conclusion afterwards that tears can be scary for some people in the wrong contexts.
