Anyone can lose it occasionally at work. None of us are robots and we tend to let our emotions show when we are especially tired or frustrated or otherwise on edge.

However, it is entirely inappropriate to cry regularly and over "anything". Not only does this make people uncomfortable, it can also make them feel manipulated. It is all too easy to believe that they are crocodile tears put on for a show and to gain an advantage (people tend to finish the conversation quickly to get out of there).

I consider it absolutely unprofessional and I do think she probably has some emotional personality issues. However if it's ingrained it would be awfully difficult to change.
