Yesterday, I was having a design discussion with a senior engineer and in the middle of discussion I got really emotional and teary, even though I did not want to. I had to take a break to freshen up myself. I felt so embarrassed later.
Yeah, but not in a work setting thank goodness.
Same
Been there.
It happens, its hormones. You did the right thing by recognizing it and taking a break. No need to be embarrassed. Its not what you feel but how you act on those feelings that matters. If you had started screaming, that would have been inappropriate. But stepping away was the right thing.
Yes, I have been emotional and wanted to throw my sandals at my boss who was nagging on some silly shit. I just got up and left for a restroom break.
I just shoot blood everywhere, people love it
All the time.
I take two days off every month because of intense pain. I can't get out of bed. I do cry and get emotional. Hasn't happened in work setting because I'm good at maintaining moderation in front of people and also I'm too sick to go to work. But I once had to leave a meeting because of dysmenorrhea and just sent manager an email saying just that.
Not in work setting. I generally keep my day low activity or take work from home
Is there anything we mangers can do to help with this?
Yes, please don’t ask too many details about why a woman wants to work from home 2-3 days in a month or after every 3 weeks. A lot of us go through shit load during these few days and also couple of days before and after .
Sure. That's some guesswork involved but I never ask anyone anyways if they have to wfh so that's not a problem at all. Anything else managers can help you with?

So hard being a women in tech industry
Wow, what a shitty response - people like you are the reason women don’t enter tech. Get the fuck out.
Eckel sounds like my previous boss who I wanted to throw my sandals at ;-)
