It kind of annoys me that workplaces are so unfriendly to people having emotional issues. I work for myself as I am a Nanny, but have worked in childcare centres, kindergartens and also an office. In the childcare world, we are actively told that we must support each other. @ Brummig - Do you think it is the workplace or your behaviour that is the problem? Sometimes when we are emotional, it's difficult to tell where the problem actually is. Either way, people go through difficult times and if you have been a good employee up to that point, they should be more understanding. Oh and crying isn't the worst thing you can do. It's normal!
