Pretty much everyone will sometimes struggle with anger at work. People fear the wrath of abusive supervisors , suppress anger to maintain a facade of professionalism, or vent anger toward coworkers who are, fairly or not, targets.

The 2001 Tilda Swinton film The Deep End features a scene that has stuck with me for nearly 25 years, even though Ive forgotten almost everything else about the movie.

Although her character is shown to live a comfortable, upper-middle-class life, she spends a stressful day on the phone trying to find the moneyand she misses the deadline.
