Eight out of 10 people have cried at work, new study says

(CNN) — Letting your emotions out through a cry at work is much more common than you think.

Eight of 10 people have cried at work, according to a new study from the job search company Monster.

Nearly half — 45 percent — of those shedding tears say their bosses or co-workers were the reason.

About a fifth of people surveyed said their cry was due to non-work, personal issues.

A career expert with Monster says in many cases, shedding tears at work can be a sign of a toxic environment.
