Some emotions are tiring - anger, frustration, depression, anguish, to name a few.

I can't think of any that involve supporting a colleague at work. I could certainly get tired of shenanigans at work, but that would be from frustration et al, but support?

Like the other comment that's responded, I just don't see the link between the description for the term and the situations in either the blog or a workplace.

I've certainly not noticed a difference in the level of emotional support given in the workplace by women either. Whose emotions are they managing? Men's?
