This can be demotivating, unfair and frustrating for employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s more, the negativity that professionals are reporting is bad news for both workers and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving positive working relationships is important in order to work well as a team and co-operate with others. Not to mention that friendships at work can help to make the working days more enjoyable, giving opportunities for support and socialising.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re facing negative or difficult colleagues who make you want to leave your role, or cause low morale and a bad working environment, it might be time to discuss these feelings with your manager. After all, no one should be made to dislike their job by another\u2019s bad attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, the study revealed that despite the majority (94%) of engineering professionals saying that they do always support their colleagues, 16.7% become jealous when their co-workers get a promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, almost half (46.3%) admit to discussing salaries with their colleagues, with 29% becoming jealous if they don\u2019t earn as much, or that their co-worker received a pay rise.<\/p>\n<p>Biggins continues: \u201cWhile professionals in the engineering industry do claim to support their colleagues, it\u2019s apparent that this can be challenging when competition, pay and the desire for success gets in the way. Work can be stressful, so it\u2019s important that employees do have those support systems in place to help them. Plus it\u2019s a shame that a number of people admit to feeling jealous of their co-workers success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019ve missed out on an opportunity, promotion or pay rise that your colleague received, remember that you shouldn\u2019t compare your success to theirs. However, it might be worth asking for feedback from your manager to find out what you can do next time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the latest research from leading job board, CV-Library, two thirds (65.7%) of engineering professionals believe their colleagues don\u2019t work hard enough, with a further 68.4% stating that this impacts how they feel about their job.
