A startup I worked at used to have a crying room. So not just Jeff Bezos.

There's nothing wrong with crying or in general showing or having emotions, "negative" or otherwise.

Some people just have that reaction to difficulty and frustration or whatever else, it doesn't have to mean that an environment is terrible or immoral if people cry about it sometimes.

But maybe if it happens often enough that you need a "crying room", something is wrong.

Yep.

Worked with a developer who had to leave the office temporarily one day to go outside and cry in his car.

Was in a team where he could have spoken to any of us and we all would have listened and helped, but I guess sometimes, some people, just need to be alone and cry.

Whatever helps them. I'm not going to judge.

This sounds something like a wellbeing room, which is pretty common. Or is there literally a door marked 'crying room'? If latter, I am worried.
