Jealousy on the job

The green monster often raises its head in the workplace.  Envy is something you can’t often control or predict, but there are good ways to minimize its potential damage.

We all know jealousy can poison romantic relationships, but it can do the same for professional relationships if you’re not careful.

One good way to get a hold of your own jealousy of coworkers is to do a month-by-month (or some other frequency) resume that tracks your progress and performance highlights.  This way you focus on your projects and results, not coworkers or their actions.  You can also use this document to update your real resume and update your boss at an opportune time for a promotion and/or raise.
