Feeling envious or jealous is so natural. It's a human emotion that's as natural as any other emotions. But yes, it's considered a negative one. As long as people don't let it interfere with their professional work, it's okay. I would not be bothered if any colleague is envious. I would continue being myself and be focused on right things and my work rather than wasting my time on being concerned about his jealousy. As long as it doesn't get into an ugly scenario effecting the work environment, I am okay with it.

There are people who stay humble and friendly to everyone at work. They are liked by most coworkers. But then there are others who are boastful and jubilant about every little achivements at work. Such people attract lot of envious coworkers. So, a bit of change in attitude can also help

There is nothing you can do that will ever convince an envious one. The only thing you can do is you have to keep him at arm length. You can't avoid him or ostracized him. He's your co worker.

You are right because if we try to avoid him, we won't be able to simply because he is our co-worker and we see him everyday

I just ignore these people. I only going to fight back when they are hitting me below the belt, which is not acceptable for me. I can do this in a professional way.

I know it is hard to deal with envious colleagues. I had encounter them also. They will not be happy for your achievements and success. I also have to deal with bullies in the workplace

I always tell people to go to work and face their job. No one is your friend at work. They are all trying to take your spot.

Well, it is too bsd for people to be envious of others at work
I see this as a sign of childishness and immaturity. I just believe people just to keep ignoring them

Even if I have friends at work, I have always taught myself with that once we are at work, there is not friend at work and we should face what we have gone to work to do

it is just the way people try to stab others at the back. This is not how it should be you need to interact with your friends confidently even at work

Having envious co-workers are common at workplace. If I encounter one, I'll just ignore him/her and focus on doing my job as long as s(he) does not do anything which disrupts my work.

That's the right thing to do just focus on your work and forget about anyone trying to show bad vibe or energy. it is good to totally ignore them and just work
