Why Russians Cry At Work

[Gimgak]

According to the Russian Federal State Statistics Service, there are 4.6 million of unemployed in Russia. Not all of them are looking for a formal employment, particularly because being employed does not always feel that great. Every other of those surveyed acknowledged that at some point they broke into tears at work, and women are not the only ones who weep. Most often, the work makes cry ordinary rank and file employees.


According to the survey conducted by the portal Joblist.ru, 33% of professionals such as economists and analysts, cry at work. Business owners shed the least amount of tears - the portal has not identified any of them. According to the study, 55% of Russians cry because things go wrong at work. "One in ten of them (11%) is male," the website says.



Even the defenders of the Fatherland sometimes allow themselves to cry. Sometimes they have to deal with human tragedy in their work. "1% of soldiers admitted to crying at work at times," Joblist.ru reported.
The work itself brings tears to only 18% of Russians. Getting fired is not perceived by most as a tragedy, and only 5% of the polled cry under these circumstances.

I must say, this is some damn fine journalism from pravda. I applaud them for exposing the gritty reality of the emotional Russian people. FOR THE FATHERLAND!

Russians are just weird. Time was though if they cried they'd have been shot, guess the ruskies are just getting soft now.

FYI for anyone reading Pravda is a propaganda magazine for the govt filled with racist and butthurt editors, for those reasons Putin loves them and doesn't murder them like other journalists who say anything about his regime.

While I agree that Pravda is a propaganda news source, I think you could find similar number's in many other countries. 😕
