Jamie watched his colleague panic, which turned into a full-fledged meltdown. "He was yelling, screaming and literally throwing ballots against the wall saying, 'These aren't worth the paper they're printed on! My career is over!'" Jamie recalls. He pulled his colleague aside and told him to take a deep breath and count to 10, while other volunteers picked up the ballots.
Even happy workplaces can spark meltdowns. Dennis Snow is a former employee of an well-known amusement park who has written a book about his 20 years as a staff member. Snow witnessed several meltdowns over the years. One of the most memorable occurred at a very popular attraction.
As he explains, when a ride is closed, a staff member will stand at the entrance of the ride to personally deliver the bad news to the eager patrons. One ride was closed for restoration, and Dennis, who was assuming his shift at the entrance to the ride, found his co-worker in full meltdown mode.
"She was not only in tears, she was inconsolable. Guests weren't even going near her because of her sobbing." He says. "I asked what was wrong and she said, 'I just can't take it anymore! If one more person blames me for this stupid ride being closed, I'm going to just quit. One father pointed at me and said to his kids, 'Thank the lady for ruining our vacation!'"
Any of this sound familiar? If you, a co-worker or a manager are nearing a breakdown, this may be a sign that things at work are out of balance. You and your officemates should consider these preventative measures:
