Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack.
Speaker A:And there is a new survey that finds two in five people have cried at work before.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker A:So two and five people have worked at a restaurant.
Speaker A:Now 39% said they have broken down in tears while on the job.
Speaker A:And 14% of us, or one out of seven have cried multiple times on the job.
Speaker A:Another 25% said, man, once or twice some of us admit to being close to crying at work.
Speaker A:About a fifth of us, so basically almost 2/3 of us have cried or wanted to cry while at work.
Speaker A:Now, a lot of people openly vent or complain about their job to family or friends at least occasionally.
Speaker A:And a third of us say every day we vent.
Speaker A:But just over 10% of us, let's see, 12%, that's one out of eight, roughly.
Speaker A:Never ever complain about our job.
Speaker A:One out of eight of us never complain about our jobs.
Speaker A:I guess that means we've never experienced anything from today's list of the top six things that should make us cry at work.
Speaker A:Well, gather round folks.
Speaker A:It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.
Speaker A:Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.
Speaker A:Here comes the fun.
Speaker A:It's the morning six pack.
Speaker A:The top six things that make us cry at work.
Speaker A:Number six, all the K Cups are decaf.
Speaker A:Oh no.
Speaker A:5, Nobody noticed my new bangs.
Speaker A:Number four, realizing that we just hit reply all on that very uncouth joke.
Speaker A:Oh no.
Speaker A:3, Our paycheck after taxes.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's enough to make me cry for sure.
Speaker A:Number two, being replaced by a robot just because it doesn't whine or surf porn or call in sick when it's hungover.
Speaker A:And the number one thing that makes me cry, it makes us cry at work is of course spending $200,000 on a humanities degree only to wind up working at Applebee's.
