You can only tackle envious colleague at work by trying as much as possible to accommodate him with his vice. By so doing, you will be avoiding what could be resulting into incessant conflicts between you. Don't be implicated along with him.

Being focused in the business environment is always important. When envious people find out that you did not give a damn about them they will always respect to themselves.

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 is the best solution. It is very hard to satisfy everybody. No matter how you try. The envious one won't be convinced. However, it is not good to join him in a situation that could cause disagreement which would eventually lead into conflict. Avoid him and focus on your official duties. Where you have confrontation as a result of work, be accomodable and concentrate on your duty.

It's rightly said that the only thing that is in our control is self. We have no control over people around us or the situations around us. We can only control the way we behave or react. Even in the best workplace, one is ought to encounter a few bad energy people. One has to learn to stay with them and find ways to deal with them. There is no ideal workplace or any place which is free of negative human emotions like envy, jealousy etc

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.

This is definitely the best thing to do because they will always be looking for ways to antagonize you at your work and probably get you sacked.

ignoring envious people and focusing on yourself is very important and necessary. You need to always try as much as possible to ignore such kind of people if you want to be very productive at work.

One has to do everything to save themselves from any sort of negativity. Once you get into the grip of negative people and negative energy, it will pull down your productivity and would impact you in all negative ways. Find ways to keep yourself unaffected by these sort of people.

I won't actually take any action. I might decide to talk to the person so we can sort things out
That's a very wise approach. One can do that if one feels that the person is approachable. Communication done in a right way sorts out many issues. So, good to give it a try if one feels that it would work. At least it would let the other person know that you are being negatively effeected by his behaviour. Maybe he will rectify that.

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
Ignorance is the best solution to an envious colleague. Always try to avoid him in most situations. Be accommodating his misdemeanor. Where official duties causes your confrontation, be as much persevere as possible to avoid situation that could lead to confrontation.

Most of those kind of people always exist in workplaces. When you earn more than them they will always envy you but they don't know what the amount of work you always put in place every single day.
