I cried in front of my boss

I had to meet with our Executive Director and my boss and I just started crying.  I'm so embarassed.  We had a round of emails going this morning and I guess something I wrote made them 'question my understanding of the agency'.  And so they in turn questioned whether I was basically out talking sh!t about the agency.  What they don't get is that I am way too loyal and respectful to do that.  I'll *** on here about my job and pay but I would never go out to our community and start suggesting our funds are used properly.  Our agency does really important work and I truly do trust that the director's make the right decisions.  I just had jet lag.  I only slept 18 hours in the last 4 days - you do the math.  And emails aren't filled with tone and inflection.  It was an accusation, just a statement.  Oh, this is depressing.

Re: I cried in front of my boss

  • i'm sorry, that sucks.  what did you say exactly? 

    did the meeting end on a good foot at least?

  • Oh no! Well I hope you get the whole thing sorted out! As embarrassing as crying at work is - it happens.

  • I am so sorry! That is the worst. I hope everything ended up okay.
  • Yuck....what an awful situation! I really hope that tomorrow is a better day. Crying at work stinks, but maybe it helped them to see just how upset you were to learn they misconstrued your words. You totally deserve a glass of vino tonight!

  • The whole thing is a mess.  I was totally blindsided at the meeting.  I was told the meeting was to discuss the auction at my event.  I sit down and the ED goes of on how she doesn't think I'm loyal.   Huh?  WTF?  Where the hell did that come from?  Because my email simply stated I didn't know where some of our funds were channeled?  Seriously lady - I didn't know.  Damn.  I honestly know this is all about the salary increase they don't want to give me.  I've never been written up or had any bad marks on my record.  Last week I ask about the salary review again and all of the sudden I feel like they are stretching things to make it fit what they need.  I told my boss this morning that I really didn't appreciate getting blindsided yesterday, and that in the future in order to maintain trust within our department I would like to know what our meetings are really about prior to walking into them.....then I started to tear up again so I walked out of his office.  What's wrong with me?  Why can I think everything and write everything but I just can't say it aloud?
