Why Is It That Colleagues Get Jealous Easily by Truthsoldier(m): 7:23pm On Mar 23, 2023 |
I discovered that folks get easily jealous in the workplace. lemme go this way....I currently work in a firm and when I got into that firm I tried to study the environment as per individual character, to some I went close enough to chat casually and to some I don't, I had a rare privilege of meeting the MD and to share some ideas with him on things that I think could be quite okay suggestively, and my boss is a listening person and apart from that the office I occupy gave me that privilege, I try to tone down sometimes my ideas and contributions in meetings not to appear over impressive or get this jealous vibes from these other people, but honestly these ladies some of them are behaving in a way I suspect there is seeting jealousy in them, so I want to ask what should I do,since they have been there before I came. I don't want to go into details now |

Is this week the attack-women-at-work festival? Anybody will feel insecure being in a job for a decade or more only to see a fresh-faced twenty-year-old employed. We grow complacent over years. Young workers are also prone to trying to outshine senior peers. Don’t blame them. 5 Likes |

Many offices are like this in Nigeria. When a colleague of mine knew I was his senior in the profession, the guy didn't like it. He was my boss's ass licker and I don't like people like that, and for some reason, he didn't like it when I did good things and was approved by my then boss. He even went to the extent of asking people about the result I graduated with and the year behind my back. My advice: be careful, bold, wise, and foolish, depending on the situation. Situational and emotional intelligence is important in such a workplace. 11 Likes |

The truth of the matter is that jealousy runs in so many people's blood. They don't wanna see you win...but always trade with caution. Keep on working hard,proffer solutions to your boss in private and keep your circle close and tight. Best regards 1 Like |

meobizy: If we shouldn't blame a jealous (or insecure) person for being jealous (or insecure), who then do we blame? ![]() @OP... Jealous people will ALWAYS be jealous regardless of whether or not you try not to make them jealous ![]() And sometimes the things they get jealous for/about are things you can't do so much ... If your boss likes you, they get jealous... You're being yourself, they get jealous... You're good at your work, they get jealous... It's not something you can help ![]() Abi do you want to stop your boss from liking you? Stop being yourself? Or you want to stop putting in your best at work and being good at what you do? My advice is outshine them discretely... Since you said your boss is someone who listens, you could always go to him with very brilliant and creative ideas whilst trying to blend in with them when in public ![]() But either ways don't stop giving your best to your job regardless of the so called colleague that is jealous ![]() |

How to handle a jealousy colleague Handling a jealous colleague can be challenging, but here are some steps you can take to help manage the situation: Stay calm and professional: It's important to remain calm and professional when dealing with a jealous colleague. Don't let their behavior or comments affect your own work or attitude. Address the issue directly: If you feel comfortable, try talking to your colleague directly about their behavior. Be specific about the things they're doing that are making you uncomfortable, and try to approach the conversation from a constructive, problem-solving perspective. Don't engage in their behavior: If your colleague is trying to engage you in negative behavior or gossip, try to stay out of it. Don't participate in negative conversations or confrontations, as this can escalate the situation. Seek support: If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to handle the situation, seek support from a trusted colleague or supervisor. They may be able to offer guidance and help you navigate the situation more effectively. Document the behavior: If your colleague's behavior is particularly disruptive or problematic, consider documenting it. Keep a record of any incidents, conversations, or emails that may be relevant. This can be useful if you need to escalate the issue to a supervisor or HR. Focus on your own work: Don't let your colleague's behavior distract you from your own work or goals. Stay focused on your own responsibilities and continue to do your best work. Be empathetic: Try to understand where your colleague is coming from and why they may be feeling jealous. This doesn't excuse their behavior, but it can help you approach the situation with more empathy and understanding. I think they feel threatened 1 Like |

It's Office Politicking, the initial stage is jealousy then trials, in all this if you come off as a weakling you automatically migrate to become "one of the fellas" prone to subjugations - it get worst if the gang is headed by those with double X chromo...... "What's in it for me, what's in it for them" I was able to neutralise their dreadfull fangs by inculcating the bolded to my working ethics. |

One thing I have learnt those that have better ideas are always resented.You may have good ideas, but swallow them,Nigeria bosses and workers are afraid of change.They rather do things the same way. Those that contribute nothing are preferred because they are not seen as threats. Sometimes keep your ideas even if you know, except when asked directly or told to do so anonymously. In my former school, so many suggestions to the owners on how to develop and change things to move the school forward caused so many things even betweencolleagues. ,I left there, now they are even worse off. In my current place,so many things wrong, because of poor management andproper knowledge of running a school by theowner. I shut my mouth tightly and continue looking at them. I do my work as supposed,but run your thing anyhow you like. In summary apply wisdom with your ideas @op. |
