I know exactly what you are talking about!\nI can only explain it by the other people probably not being so good at their job, and at the same time would like to be/look better than you. Having this ambition, they try anything, look for intrigues, make up lies just in order to by contrast to you, look good themselves. Try not to look so good in front of them, try to make your supervisor see without these colleagues knowing about it, try to compliment them, try to make them look good, they will feel better

Oh yeah, every place I have ever worked.\nRemember they are over compensating for their weaknesses.\nThey think if they act like they superior, everyone will think they are.\nBest way to defeat someone like that, is to show them you can do a better job that they can. Bursts their bubble every time.\nGood Luck.

When dealing with an envious co-worker, I kill them with kindness, and I'm not talking about lip service. You must be genuine when doing this for it to work. Obviously they have massive insecurities, and perceive you as some kind of threat. I would also suggest keeping ones personal, and professional life mum. In essence, do not give anyone a reason to hold you in contempt. The old saying is true, "keep your friends close, your enemies closer".

It's the most ridiculous emotion that comes from fear of not being good enough.Be happy and celebrate who you are you can only be a first rate you and a second rate someone else.

Because they are insecure. When people are insecure they become jealous. You can learn not to be jealous but it takes a lot of work and strength.

No i havent, ive been screwed over by others.  \n\ni think its in someones personality. They have the idea that they deserve more than others, for no real good reason. And they dont feel they need to work for it either.  Alot of it stems from jealousy and ignorance. \n\nA jealous personality is very hard to deal with.  They are easily distracted from the truth of a situation when their jealousy kicks in. And they do anything to fullfil the needs they think they have. \n\nI actually feel bad for those people like that. It kinda pathetic. \n\nAnd as for how they feel. I dont think they feel bad. If they did they wouldnt do it.  They justify everything in their own mind as to why they do something. Whether that justification is true or unfounded, doesnt really matter. Its the idea that they THINK they deserve the outcome no matter how they get it...\n\n\nSAD ISNT IT

People are cruel to others because they're insecure and jealous. The being mean (jealousy or not) makes them feel as if they're better but at the end of the day, we can all see through that.

It's got nothing to do with the other person/people - it's just that your bad day has stressed you out so much that you become oversensitive to the slightest bit of extra stress (the stuff that you wouldn't even notice on a good day) and you can't control your already overloaded nerves from making you feel like they're goading you!\n\nOn the other hand, there are some real a**holes who love to wind people up till they blow - the best way to deal with them is be sickly sweet to them - it confuses them AND exposes them as nasty pigs to everyone else around!

because you are feeling threatened and fearful of your job, yet you want to assert yourself, too.

Whatever gives you gratification.  Money, Power, focus, status, involvement, coworkers, Boss, commute, nature of the job etc.  However, some people can't be pleased! They are complainers and complaning is what makes them happy. So if you have some of these make sure you give them more to complain about.  The more you give them the happier they are. They don't show it really but deep inside they are really happy.

Jealousy of another's superior skills or abilities engeders negative actions such as spreading false rumors about that person.  Another is a common mistake, arguing with co-workers about politics or religion. A former friend can turn on you once he or she discovers you do not agree with their beliefs.  Aggressive ambition also contributes to cutthroat practices such as sabotaging another's work, blaming another for your mistakes or taking credit for someone else's ideas. My best advice is to never tell anyone at work more than the barest of personal information, be pleasant, don't complain or join in ranking fellow workers. Also be a good listener and most of all, keep your mouth shut about your best work ideas until you present them to the proper supervisor and leave your strong opinions on non-work related issues at home. If you must vent or preach, write a letter to the editor or find a chat room online.

the wonderful world of corporate america at hand.  It's the same reason why the people who have no clue about anything are in management and the ones who know the company inside/out are temps.  I don't know exactly why it's like that but for some reason the fear of "oh my god, is someone better than me?" is so predominant and executives rule through fear.  I've been fired from jobs because I didn't kiss a**.\n\n\nDamned if you do, damned if you don't . . .

I believe they are insecure and probably don't have social skills that are appropriate to gains friends/ loyalty / trust, so they talk about illness and pain to gain attention, and think that's the way to get it. I once just confronted a co-worker with something like this " I know you have things wrong in your life, but it drives people away to hear so much negativity." Feelings were a little hurt, but it did help. Mostly you deal with it by ignoring it, change the subject to something cheerful.

they're haters; people tend to be jealous of people they wish they were...

Depends, since some people have alot of will power to do their job properly and others just enjoy life without lifting their pinky up. I'm a hard worker and never complain about the situations I face, not that I work now or anything but I would give my all to do a decent job.

I think it's a social thing. Ok ok ok...I know I'm going to get over analytical here, but here goes. Someone will really want to reach out to someone they would like to be friends with. But they don't know what to say. So they figure, find some common ground. Misery loves company they say....right? So if I dog our boss to a co worker...won't he have a comeback and complain right along with me? Or if I go up to someone I barely know and complain about the weather, won't they surely agree with me and help out the conversation with a complaint of their own? \n\nSad part is....it would seriously work the opposite way too. Somehow people just feel safer being on the "complaining" side than being one of the "shiny happy people" that so many want to slap. ;) And why is that? We are often jealous of someone else's happiness because we are still working to achieve our own. \n\nAren't we ever satisfied? yeahhh.....of course we are. But society will always have something to complain about just for the sake of having a common bond. :)
