Emotionally mature women do calm down. It just depends on the level of trust she has in what you say.
If you are known to her as someone she trusts and listens to, then she will consider if you are right and start to calm down if she thinks you are.
But it depends a bit on age and maturity and life experiences and all sorts of things.
Totally agree about the endless meetings and never feeling good enough, always chasing a new technology, never satisfied.
I think its insane that we as engineers are supposed to sit in open offices and im on my way to quit my job also. Office politics, people are rewarded for being in office rather then being productive at home. And the commute, the colleagues, everything is exhausting.
I've been starting to look at how to escape the matrix and stop this madness somehow. I cant do this until im 65 and gets sick and old. I wont.
