What do you do about women crying at work?

Whenever I see a woman cry, I just silently stare at her and judge her. It seems to work pretty well for me.

Fuck her water works bullshit. Its manipulation, pure and simple. Adults should be able to take criticism. When my female subordinates would start crying, I simply ignored it. Of course other white knights in my unit came to her rescue if she was attractive, undercutting my authority in the process. They never understood how that worked because she was cute, and helpless, and I was being mean. Fact of the matter was she signed up, she was a military member and had to pull her weight. Crying to get out of something is not going to work unless you have beta WK types in charge.

The modern workplace is a breeding ground for bad female behavior because, much like modern education, it is centered around women and the feminization of men.

You know what you do? Go to HR. That's right, that female powered hell hole women so frequently use is a wonderful place to report bad female behavior.

Tell them her behavior is creating a stressful work environment and it's affecting your work. I'm dead serious. Any other action is going to, ironically, get you reported to HR

I work as a lab assistant. A couple of months ago I got my own "assistant", I worked for several hours making perfect solutions through titrations and other time consuming methods to get the professor's lab ready - this lab is dangerous if there is any contamination. My "assistant" manages to contaminate about 1/3 of my samples before I catch her. I had specifically told her to be extremely careful. I catch her sitting with her goddamn iPhone and "eyeballing" the titration. Now, anyone who has done chemistry knows that titrations are a delicate process and you have to keep a close watch on them.

Long story short I chewed her out, called her irresponsible and told her to get out of the lab. She goes to the dean and cries (yes, sounds like an adult huh?) who reciprocates the bitching at me. I told the professor that either I'm gone or she's gone. I work alone now. I'm doing the job for two people but at least I'm doing it right.

Working with women is like working with children. They have no concept of professional behavior. It's all backstabbing, talking shit about your frienemies and whining. I have a very low level of bull shit tolerance so I don't get along with female coworkers at all.

Which is weird, considering men and women are equally just the same in every way according to feminist theory.

"Never trust a woman's tears." - Bill Burr

For women, going into crying mode is as easy as flipping a mental switch. What better way is there to win an argument against a man than a couple tears on the cheeks? They know full well that not only will it disarm you and make you feel like a raging asshole, it will also get other men in the vicinity to charge into Heroic White Knight and beat you into the dirt.

To answer your question, nothing. Nothing can be done to keep women from crying. What you can do, personally, is just not let it effect you. Don't change anything about your attitude or mannerisms. Don't even mention the fact that she's crying. Just pretend like you're completely oblivious. Carry on like nothing's wrong or different. Hold frame.

Of course, there's nothing that can be done if she uses her tears as a rallying cry to get the others on the office on her side. If that happens, sorry buddy, it's game over. Her feels will trump whatever's real.

A decent system I saw employed was that when someone started crying they got a time out and had to go 'counsel' with an 'independent party' (i.e. someone from HR) while the rest of us continued the meeting/work.

No one I know of kept stats but I am convinced this had the effect of limiting the tears since it was a) embarrassing to have to leave and b) having to leave meant there NO was mechanism for teary-eyed manipulation.

"Now I understand that it's in their nature and they can't help it." True. This is why they weren't in position of power at the office when America was thriving.

YOU_ARE_A_TOY · 2014-06-24T02:07:21+00:00

Just let it be. Unless she specifically asks you for help, it's not your problem.

MajorMid · 2014-06-24T05:07:53+00:00

Yeah - I've never once seen a woman coworker in any of the jobs I've had not break down and cry about something that happened on the job at some point.

But of course they should get paid equal to men even though they are going to cry and expect their male coworker to fix it for them every time they are thrown the slightest curveball.

Sometimes the best thing for a person crying at work is to be given something urgent to do, it can snap them out of it. Sometimes.

hamstercide · 2014-06-23T21:21:48+00:00

I haven't cried in a long time, basically since I was a child. Recently I got hit by a wave of despair after some setbacks, the hopelessness swelled in me and I recognized that this should be a time to cry, but I just couldn't. Instead I pulled myself together and took action. I'm not trying to sound like I'm trying to brag, I'm just wondering if this is healthy.

2014-06-23T23:33:43+00:00

I cried at work once when I jammed my fingers in a door and broke them all.

Dealing with a boss like this at the minute though. She is a nightmare. Best of luck mate.

Because women can't lift as much as we can?

Are you seriously asking why there are differences between the sexes?

You might see this as unfair, but honestly ask yourself how often do you need to cry at work?

If the answer is none, then what the hell are you fighting for here?

If a male nurse gets paid less then a female nurse solely because of gender, you have a fight, and I'll back you to the ends of the earth.

Otherwise this is pretty superficial.

ChildOfTheLostTribes · 2014-06-24T01:15:05+00:00

Not a damn thing--it ain't my problem.

Hughtub · 2014-06-24T02:33:31+00:00

When a woman is crying at work, I just tell her, "Ok, ok... you don't have to deep throat any more."

theultimatewarriors · 2014-06-24T10:34:00+00:00

You ever come in and just "not give a fuck".

People allow it when results still come in. You can skip emails, some phone calls on certain days, and miss a lot of stuff and feign ignorance or being too busy.

That's the male equivalent.
