In a department we meet different people with different attitudes of life.
But why is there envy & jealousy at work?

It's because they are insecure. Pp who're insecure tend to get jealous easily. No human being is perfect and so it's sometimes inevitable that we mt such pp at work.

Yes, I don't know why there are people like that, especially at work. They will always find a way to drag you down, especially if you are excelling at your work. I have this co-worker of mine, she was full of envy. She will be friendly to everybody, but will back stabbed them when they are not looking. Nobody sees her bad attitude because she was acting so friendly. I just hope she get busted soon. She has a very high ambition and wants to be promoted in the company. *sigh*

I think it's going to be hard getting rid of these kind of people. They are great actors, they can get sympathy of others easily, lol. I was just so happy when my co-worker left the company. Since then, my life and work became much more easier. I hope you can find a way to get rid of her. Good luck! :)

Unfortunately you will always have this at work. People are people they will always want more than they have and be envious of what others obtain. Try to do your job the best you can and be ethical - if they try to scam and climb the corporate ladder by manipulating the system and being unethical - it will eventually come back to bite them. Take the higher road - you won't be sorry.

Thanks a lot TrvlArrngr. Yes indeed we have to climb up the ladder as much as we can to reach the goal of success with full responsibility and ethics. I agree with you that if manipulation occurs it will backbite them. I am also praying to GOd that He will always guide me to what ever endeavor I am doing.
Thanks a lot !
In your work does this happen to you?

Everyone in the work place is looking to get further at life. When they meet other people its a normal attitude to judge people and compare themselves with them etc. I wouldn't let such people get to you. Be the best you can be and do the best you can do and forget about jealousy as hard work and good work ethics will pay off and you will grow within the company and life in general.

Well, it's common in working atmosphere. It can be driven by many factors include our bosses who sometimes choosy. However, when I becomes boss so hard to avoid since we tend to trust someone with good integrity and able to deliver task with good quality .

We are created equal in the eyes of God, but our grand, grand parents - long time ago - had committed a mortal sin to mankind, and that the new generations carried these negatives into our lives. Different people have different notions and personalities that they are living with it. So, as an intelligent person, this is normal to all of us. Be it rich, poor, or even a meager kind of person. We developed these bad attitudes towards our own self, family, society, community, country, and the whole world. Thus, cultures of other people are not the same as your culture. So, better to accept these things as normal, and have an easy solution/s for that matter, to encourage you to apply in case you are in a crowd or alone with your best friend. That's why, we are learning on how to get along with our family, relatives, friends, neighbors, and other people in our society we lived in. Try to remember always, your wisdom to teach other people the right way, is like getting what you wanted for them to do. Influence them for whatever good you have, and be the first to do the right thing as a model for them. You can do it my friend.

We usually use to compare ourselves to other persons and we often see that the other person we compare with is more or better prepaired.
Sometimes it happens that a person wanted to study more than he/she really did because of different circumstances of life. But even though this person got a good job which he/she doesn't want to miss or loose.
Then appears this other person we think is better prepaired and we start to feel frightened about our own position. So we envy this person and start to feel jealousy. But, if we are intelligent enough, we can try to learn more of those people.
