Work is hard enough, but what about when work makes you cry?

I’ve had customers and coworkers make me cry in the past, but when it’s your boss?

That’s when you know it’s bad–and probably time to look for a new gig literally anywhere else.

Here are 12 people’s confessions about crying because of the boss.

1. Not cool, man

Even if no one else does, your boss should have your back.

My boss intentionally picks on me... Feels like he does it more since he made me cry...

Some old ladies are the meanest.
That’s literally the plot of The Devil Wears Prada.

5. We all have to wear a mask sometimes

But it’s okay if your mask slips now and then.
You’re only human.

My boss just made me cry at work. Sometimes I forget I'm not really the ice princess and I have emotions. I ran out to cry in my truck. Dope.

6. You know how they say don’t cry over spilled milk?

Don’t scream at employees over messed up milkshakes, either.

My boss made me cry today at work. I made a small mistake with a milkshake, he got mad, and I said sorry, then he essentially called me stupid and said I can't think before I do things.

7. It’s bad enough when they make you cry

But in front of customers? That’s the worst kind of scum.

8. These guys need to remember that you’re minimum wage

Though honestly, being treated this way isn’t worth ANY pay day.

My boss just totally berated me and made me cry. As if life isn't bad enough. This bs isn't worth the $9 an hour.

9. It’s amazing what these poor people put up with

Can’t they go to HR about this sort of treatment?

My boss calls me lazy and that I should go back to my old job and was saying some more hurtful things. He made me cry twice.

10. At least you can say peace out

And feel good about your decision.

But I have SO many questions…
