Recently, I read an article from Careerbuilder.com about the
Seven Deadly Workplace Sins. Yesterday, I gave you my take on
Pride. This morning, its all about Envy.
Jealousy is stupid. It is a waste of time and its destructive.
Nothing good can ever come of it, so theres definitely no room for
it in the workplace. If a co-worker gets a project or a promotion
that you wanted, then dont spend time stewing over it or lamenting
that it wouldve been yours. Instead, turn the opportunity
around.
Use the situation to motivate yourself to work harder, to achieve
more so that next time youll be the one who gets the chance to
make the big deal or who gets the big client or the big raise.
