Snapped at work

For the first time in my working life, on Monday I came to the end of my tether at my workplace and snapped with my with my manager, an uncontrollable emotion of anger and stress over overwhelmed and a quit my job with full blast shouting and a smashing over a printer/laptop on to a noticeboard. These actions scared the hell out of me as well as lost me my job after after 9 years with 7 of those being great until they had a reshuffle of management who then demanded relentlessly without a care in the world. My voice was unheard and I felt like a number and apiece of equipment to be used until no longer able or needed. The company was going places now winning more work by massively undercutting rival companies within our sector and then not delivering the proposed agreed contract..yet they flogged us to death on unachievable goals and seemed to resent and blame us for the downfall. I got sick of it and ass licking lazy bastards getting the promotions ...I dont regret what I did but It scared me as I don't recognize that person I was for those few minutes. Is it normal or would you seek further help.

    Yes work can be unbearable and it's necessary to stand up for our rights and dignity.

    I bet some higher ups took notice and realize it will happen more and more if things continue as they have been. Sorry you lost job, but good for you. Get your voice heard, finally.

    Yes it's normal. I did similar kind of thing last year. But lucky didn't lose the job. Sometimes bosses and / or coworkers will keep pushing and pushing to see how far they can go with disrespecting, antagonizing or generally treating others like a piece of shit. I reached my limit and lost my temper. Lucky for him (and me) I didn't punch his lights out!

    You need to understand that it is normal to be angry and sad sometimes. Especially when it makes sense to be. Your outburst was only so great because you bottled it up for so long.

    Voice your frustrations before it gets to that point next time.

    Reminds me of the Office Space movie. Good on you for getting out of there. Hope you find a less stressful job soon!
