Another really unhelpful thing to say in these situations is the variant "Calm down".

  You're being too sensitive about this.

    What about when a guy has problems checking things into source control and starts throwing things around the office? What about the a guy gets a call from his home monitoring system and starts yelling that his house has burned to the ground? What about a guy who shouts "you aren't my manager and you never will be" to a coworker? I made none of those up. They all happened, from 3 different people. (At the same company, for that matter.) Some people really do overreact and really do need to calm down. The failure for those people to be removed led everyone else to leave.

      Did telling them so ever help?
