Men more likely to cry after performance review than women

Performance reviews are a usually-dreaded but almost inescapable part of working life – and a new study by Adobe has revealed whom is more likely to be affected by these meetings.

The computer software giant found that 25% of men cried after work appraisals compared to 18% of women. 

Findings also revealed that dramatic reactions were sparked by performance reviews: 43% of men and 31% of women looked at new jobs as a result of performance review outcomes.

Millenials were highlighted as a workforce generation that had particularly strong post-review reactions: a third have cried right after these meetings and 30% quit their job.
