Jealous people at work and getting praise

On every job, we will always came across people who are jealous of us. I have friends who told me they work hard and get things done but their efforts are not being paid off or recognised. Perhaps it is their boss or someone else in their company that hinder their success or even having a "stable" job.

You are good at what you do because you put the time into your job to make something happen.

Co-worker may be jealous of us because we give our company more business, a pay raise or promotion. The good news is, if we have someone that is jealous of us at work, then we know that we are doing the right thing. The fact is, people can only be jealous of us if we do the right thing most of the time and if we are good at what we do.

Jealous colleagues at work may look us with an evil eye or just act nasty when we go around them (That's why sometimes my friends complaint why this it so). Well, this is very common in today's society. Some people just want to act like they know everything and that they are the ones that show happiness to the whole world. These people got to look themselves in the mirror and figure out why they are not as good as they think.

Jealousy is sparked by someone that feels as though they are beneath us simply do not see them as good as us. Jealous could usually sparked when someone doesn't get their own way or when they do not get recognized by others who are around them.

Jealous people want everyone to look at them with the same respect that they give to us. However, respect is given with time and with knowledge.

But, sometimes life is just sad. Because it could be happen the other way round where you could do well for the company by bringing in business for them but they refused to recognise your success. Perhaps, the boss wants to get away with a pay raise or incentives..

Best is to remain humble, but not to the point where our own contributions are unrecognized. Worst, don’t appear fragile and weak.

Some crazy ideas that may work:
Sometimes people take things for granted simply because they’ve always reliably gotten done. Well, as human where memory is short, we have to remind our boss that it’s us doing them and pray that he remember the effort involved and be properly appreciated.

We have our customers who love us. Next time one of them drops an e-mail or note thanking us, make sure a copy goes to the boss.

The annoying thing can also be that Boss sometimes sees the "problem" areas but overlooks the great and compliments were all but brushed off. I guess being thick-skin helps. Example if we sucessfully clinch in a business for the company and the boss just thanked me, and that was that. I would say, “Aren’t you going to anounce it?”

Sometimes we just want to ask for a pat on the back. Strangely, it do feel good!
