Everybody feels wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes within a friend group of colleagues, seeing a breakthrough inspires others to apply for promotions, take on higher profile assignments, accept speaking invitations, write articles, or even write entire books.<\/p>\n<p>This blog was inspired by a LinkedIn post that caught my attention. The post featured an excerpt from an old song by the O\u2019Jays called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UCY6flzgfA4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Backstabbers<\/a><u>,<\/u>\u201d and it struck me as so true:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ojays-back-stabbers-1972-12.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14416 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ojays-back-stabbers-1972-12.jpg\" alt=\"The O'Jays sing about workplace jealousy\" width=\"263\" height=\"260\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey smilin&#8217; in your face<\/p>\n<p>All the time, they want to take your place<\/p>\n<p>The back stabbers (back stabbers) \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, many people who experienced success also see others express jealousy at their accomplishments, instead of admiration, respect, or happiness. Cue the discordant music.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m from Toronto, so I can\u2019t help but think about a more recent song called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=k9o6HN9pQXY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fake Love<\/a>\u201d by Drake, in which he expresses a similar sentiment but with some extra nuance:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Fake-Love-Drake.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14417 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Fake-Love-Drake-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Drake sings about workplace jealousy \" width=\"434\" height=\"244\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been down so long<\/p>\n<p>It looks like up to me \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This line mirrors the uncomfortable and discouraging feeling that many under-appreciated and under-employed people feel in a profound way. Often, these \u201cdevalued\u201d people are also members of a traditionally underrepresented group or have multiple intersecting identities that make them double, triple, or multiple minorities.<\/p>\n<p>They are treated like they are at the bottom of every meaningful hierarchy, regardless of their abilities or contributions. This phenomenon is well articulated and substantiated in a book called <em>Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents<\/em> by Isabel Wilkerson. One of the key messages in the book is that race in (North) America is a caste system like those in India and Nazi Germany.<\/p>\n<p>I fully acknowledge that mistreatment in the workplace because of jealousy can be universal. It\u2019s obvious that people can be jealous of others who are non-racialized, heterosexual, able-bodied, Christian, etc.<\/p>\n<p>This is well described in research done in January and February 2023 by <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.womenofinfluence.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Women and Influence+<\/a><\/em>, who focused especially on a gendered version of workplace jealousy that impacts women. Their study of 4710 women from around the world found that women who are successful and capable are being bullied and belittled and made to feel as though they don\u2019t belong.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pro-church-media-7NGU2YqBue8-unsplash.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-14421\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/pro-church-media-7NGU2YqBue8-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"workplace jealousy and envy are destructive\" width=\"437\" height=\"292\" \/><\/a>One of the main conclusions is that women\u2019s success is under attack in workplaces around the world. The top reasons given for attacking women\u2019s success included jealousy\/envy (77.5%), sexism\/gender stereotypes (74.0%), and a lack of confidence\/insecurity (72.7%).<\/p>\n<p>The study also found that the more accomplished a woman is, the more likely she is to face aggression, not only from those in positions of seniority but also from her peers. For example, one respondent to the study reported she \u201cwas told in a previous job by a former Chair of my department that my achievements and hard work made everyone else look bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Women and Influence+<\/em> did not report any disaggregated data that would highlight how prevalent this is for racialized women, however, from what I have seen and heard from others both personally and in my role as a career coach and executive coach, this is an especially serious problem for racialized women, particularly Black women.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14418\" style=\"width: 453px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/24KBJ-DAUGHTER-1-mediumSquareAt3X.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14418\" class=\" wp-image-14418\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/24KBJ-DAUGHTER-1-mediumSquareAt3X-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"443\" height=\"443\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leila Jackson, right, on the first day of the Supreme Court confirmation hearings for her mother, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, center.Credit&#8230;Sarahbeth Maney\/The New York Times<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s finally become better understood that racialized people often need to be exceptionally qualified and capable to gain access to certain desirable professional opportunities.

When you\u2019re part of an underrepresented group, the stakes are often higher. You\u2019re trying to offset the negative impact of <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/impostor-syndrome-minority-outlier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discrimination and tokenism<\/a> to prove that you belong and that you\u2019ve earned your place.<\/p>\n<p>Things get complicated and downright dangerous when people who are (quietly) looked down upon are clearly stellar. While getting established and performing well, particularly in new roles, a person\u2019s success and accomplishments often inspire workplace jealousy, envy and mistreatment.<\/p>\n<p>Another line from Drake\u2019s song \u201cFake Love\u201d comes to mind:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s when they smile in my face;<\/p>\n<p>Whole time they wanna take my place \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Depositphotos_169392500_S.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-14423\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Depositphotos_169392500_S.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"476\" height=\"316\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In response to poor treatment at work, the hard-working and successful woman is likely to experience lowered self-esteem (55.6%), disengagement at work (55.4%), resignation (64.4%) and be unwilling to share their achievements (29.4%).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a real loss when people who were ready, willing, and able to contribute end up dealing with so many counterproductive workplace behaviours which are a significant and negative distraction, or they end up leaving completely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you need help navigating the world of work? <\/strong>Contact Dr. Helen today for a free and confidential initial consultation by <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/appointments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">phone<\/a>, email, or via direct message on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/drheleno_ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IOAdvisoryServices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/helenofosu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More than career coaching, <em>it\u2019s career psychology<\/em>\u00ae.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I\/O Advisory Services Inc.<\/a> \u2013 Building Resilient Careers and Organizations.&#x2122;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What happens when we see others succeeding at work? \u00a0Does it trigger inspiration, or does it trigger workplace jealousy?<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful that I have seen countless examples in life and at work when the presence of excellence is so inspirational that others realize what may be possible for them, and they act accordingly.
