Crying as a Workplace Health Metric

Description

The image is a cropped article screenshot dated "09.25.19" under the section label "WORKPLACE EVOLUTION". The headline reads, "Why crying employees can sometimes be a sign of a healthy workplace," followed by the subheading, "Occasionally crying at work is normal-and can sometimes indicate an honest work culture. But there are some best practices to follow when dealing with a coworker's tears." Below the text is an illustration of a person sitting with their head down in front of a background full of large blue teardrop shapes, with the image credit "[Images: Pixabay/Pexels; aqua_marinka/iStock]". The joke for a developer audience is the corporate tendency to rebrand burnout symptoms as culture maturity instead of fixing workload, process, or management failures.
