Either way you can produce a strong argument they’re influencing when you cry so by your logic they’ve already won. Your lost agency has jack shit to do with whether you cry or not so let them cry.

It’s not about whether you cry or not but rather about when you cry. It’s also not so much about if you win or lose in a black and white sense but how much more are you prepared to lose.
Anyways, this is a matter of perspective and probably not the right sub to discuss this lol.
Yet capitalism is ingrained enough for you to think that’s the best option, instead of what you need / want it’s whatever that makes you the most money. So it’s a win for capitalism in the sense that you are the capitalist first, and human second.
Do you really win if capitalism dictates when you should feel / cry?
But they don’t dictate it. They win if you cry only when it doesn’t affect them
They do. The capitalistic grind makes you think it’s more worthwhile to cry while making money, rather than cry when you needed to.

If I can be less productive at work and get paid to cry, then that’s a double win on the capitalists
But they get you to cry on their terms. How much is agency worth as a human being - more or less than the hourly wage?
On their terms? The capitalists don’t want you to cry while you’re supposed to be working. Crying on their terms would be crying outside of work.
