Crying In the Workplace: Why it doesn’t work

It is always interesting to see the kind of requests I receive for information through my blog – www.DecontaminateToxicPeople.com

I would be very interested to see if you have other suggestions on crying in the workplace. Personally, I think it is unacceptable and immature!

Whining and Complaining:

I am nuts today – I am soooo behind! Suffering from Book-done-itis. Leave tomorrow for the week and my sinuses are driving me nuts. Doc says it’s just allergies.  I’ll be good to go by tomorrow.

Did you notice the word – used to? A group of haughty, loudmouthed critics convinced the founder, Howard Schultz, to discontinue the breakfast fare because as he states “The egg sandwiches debased the Starbucks image because the scent of the warmed sandwiches interferes the coffee aroma in our stores.” Pleaaassssseeeee!

Steve Forbes, of Forbes Magazine Editor-in-Chief, even writes about Starbucks stock price falling by half, leaving shareholders feeling as if they’ve been drinking airline coffee.

The two videos are from Neil Cavuto and Donny Deutsch.
