A partner once taught me that jealousy can be a signal that we need something we aren& #39;t getting in our relationship(s)

Feeling competitive at work or comparing yourself and your work to others is also a signal that you aren& #39;t getting something you need: fair treatment
It doesn& #39;t have to feel like a competition

We can fix this for ourselves or our colleagues by finding or becoming the managers who create spaces where fairness is a high priority and people are inherently treated as valuable https://twitter.com/saraislet/status/1384326173187088386?s=19">https://twitter.com/saraislet...
And if their work goes beyond their team, then OUR work goes beyond our team

If they and their work aren& #39;t treated fairly, then they aren& #39;t being treated fairly, full stop

It doesn& #39;t, well, cease to be a problem just because it happened with someone else& #39;s team
Special shout-out to so-called genius jerks

Not sure why anyone considers that genius when they& #39;re jerks
It& #39;s easy to say that it& #39;s a game of Tetris not checkers—that we& #39;re playing to improve our skills, not to outplay some opponent

But that& #39;s not a fair representation when our colleagues are making 2-4 times as much as we are for similar work
It& #39;s not fair to say simply that someone else is paid more for having more responsibilities and greater impact

—when we aren& #39;t given comparable access to grow responsibilities and opportunities for comparable impact https://twitter.com/saraislet/status/1384322542798782470?s=20">https://twitter.com/saraislet...
If this thread resonates with your current experience, talk to your manager

If your manager isn& #39;t someone you can talk to, or they don& #39;t support you, it may be time to look for a new role that treats you with the respect and compassion you deserve https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź‘€" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź’–" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz">
