We've all had a cry at work.

So whether it's in the bathroom, in the car park, on the train home, that little part of the corner in the office that no one really goes to or calls the crying corner.

However, there's been a general consensus that crying at work publicly in front of your manager or colleagues is unprofessional.

Until now.

Robert Half conducted a survey about crying in the workplace, very important work, and they surveyed more than 2,000 C-suite leaders.

44% of CFOs say that occasional workplace cry is acceptable.

30% believe crying at work has no negative impact.

So when I finished university and I was looking for jobs, the only people I had to kind of help me were my parents' generation because they're the only people who I knew worked.

And they were like, you have to wear this.

You have to talk like this.

You must, must, must not cry at work.

I love that they told you that.

Exactly.

Because they're like just an FYI for you personally.

You're really emotional.

You can't cry at work.

And then I started working at Mamma Mia.

A lot is going on.

I actually have a story, Claire Stephens.

I'm scared.
