Many people like to compete with fellow workers in the workplace. As for me, it doesn't matter as long as they compete in a healthy and professional manner, not bringing down fellow workers.

But I myself do not like to compete with anyone. I don't want to beat anyone. I just want to be a better version of myself than I used to be. Because I will feel stressed and pressured if I think I have to be better than other people, while everyone has their own abilities. How about you?

If I find myself in a work environment I'll probably form a symbiotic relationship with my fellow workers instead of competing with them. I don't see the need for such competition.

Honestly, I never dared to compete with others to my current and even previous companies. I just compared to myself and nothing else. I hate colleagues who are so busy comparing themselves with their co-workers. It is unhealthy thing to do.

I do not want to compete with my co-workers in the workplace. I just want to try my best to get the job done. I always try to upgrade myself by learning new knowledge and skills so that I remain competitive in the job market.

I'm easily challenged when I see others performing better than I do. I believe I believe I can be better so I resolve to competing not to bring anyone down but to improve myself.

I am personally inspired when I see people doing better than me. I'm the kind of person who does not like to compare myself with others. I only draw inspiration and work harder.

I don't like competing with anybody so that I won't end up pressuring myself. Competition can make you do things not for the usefulness of it but just to catch up. And that is not good for any organization.

There are some competitions that will pressure you and you will make a lot of mistakes. Sometimes jealousy can generate from there which is really very bad if you want to grow in your career.

That is why you should only encourage healthy competition in your business amongst your staff. Not competition borne out of envy and jealousy.

Competition with fellow workers at work is allowable. But this competition should be progressive in nature and not the one borne out of criticism.
Competition should not be allowed to the point it would causes conflict among the workers. Where there is competition,, craving to perform better would set in and this would increase total productivity.

People even go diabolical in some places all because of workplace competition. This is very common in the civil service. That is why I don't support competition or any kind in the workplace. It can lead to malice among staff.

Probably, competition exists almost everywhere and if it is not healthy it is negative. Healthy competition should always be encouraged.

A friendly competition would be healthy though. This would push one another to be better and more efficient in what they do as well. Friendly competitions alone can be allowed.

I don't compete with the people at work because I also believe everyone is different and have his/her capabilities and skills , you cannot compare a person with others. But you can not avoid it as bosses always do that and you cannot stop him/her from doing so.

Yeah, in workplaces there should be some kind of symbiotic relationship among the workers. If there is competition then it should be a healthy competition.

I believe I am unique and the other person is also unique. I don't compete with anyone. I just do what I have to do and leave. If anyone is competing with me, it is that person's headache.

I wouldn't want to compete with any co worker. I find it as if I am putting much pressure on myself. I am not a person that is used to being pressured.

This is something a lot of people don't use to understand because instead of competing with your coworker, you should be working together with him in order for you both to have improved productivity.

I only seek to compete with myself by getting better results than what I got in the past. I don't want to guage myself against anyone so that I won't have high blood pressure.
