How do you handle when you are promoted and it is obvious some of your coworkers didn’t like it?

Soak in their jealously and lord it over them when you see them. lol. But seriously just ignore it. If they are jealous it has more to do with their own emotions than what you did. You can’t control their emotions so you shouldn’t let it impact you unless they are retaliating. Hopefully they grow up or you can offer to give them tips to get promoted 😆

Hi!
I would remind myself that it’s totally ok for them to have their own opinion.
At the end of the day, I can spend time thinking about them not liking the fact that I got promoted OR I can spend time making the best out of my new role and creating value for my Team & business.

You´ve worked hard to get to where you are today, never forget that!

Congrats on your promotion :)

Ignore them, be grateful for my promotion, and do the best I can in my new role...they'll get over it

The problem is THEIR mindset. Rather than seeing it as a benefit to the team, they may see it as a personal loss.

You, keep doing you. They can't reach your heights (yet) so they try to drag you back to theirs.

Started a casual relationship with manager now we both ended it. how can I get over the fact that i will keep seeing him at work (different team) and not to think about him sleeping with others?

After 12 rounds of me vs my adhd - its still a LOVE/HATE relationship. I conclude I’m in the wrong career as a result. I love being smart, excelling, having random super human skills. But my career/stalemate with my own mind makes me feel like I am the biggest loser fuck up ever. All the time. I 1000% understand why work isn’t working out. I empathize for all involved > they probs deserve. Thrilled to figure this out but OH F$CK this is gonna get BAD bad before it gets fixed. Commiserate?

Going through a divorce and looking for advice. My wife called my employer and filed an allegation that I took client confidential documents out of my firm. I have had talent calls....

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Client counterpart and I were discussing a Consultant and the client told me he didn’t want this guy because the consultant is in his 50s. I quietly told the client that cannot be a reason plus I am in my 50s and you should have seen the client back paddle with compliments for me. Just a weird situation. Ageism is real.
