Out of the 6 coworkers I’m close with, I’ve seen every single one of them cry for work related reasons at least once over the past year. Peak is hell.

Then why are they (and you after witnessing this) still there?

[not_real_acct]

I'm a software consultant so I've had the opportunity to work at nearly a hundred different offices.

I've seen employees driven to tears at two companies, and both of them were wretched to work for.

It became my barometer of whether the company was a good place to work for.

I really like working for companies in finance. They're generally laid back and the pay is decent, not great.

I find that interesting b/c I have a few friends who work at large banks in the finance side of things.

They would not describe their work culture as laid back.

I can only think of one former coworker who cried from stress during work. Strangely enough, she's one of only two devs I know still on that team out of the original ten members when I joined. (I'm not the other dev)

Either your friends are emotionally unstable or should report abuse and leave the company. Seriously, why be so unhappy with your workplace? Do they work in North Korea?

[rurban]

Happens in South Korea and Japan also.

I don't think I could make up a better example of missing the point if I tried.
