My Friends Envy me because of my Salary

in the new office many people are jealous of my salary because it is higher than them. Almost every day they talk about it behind my back and in front of me. I think they are stupid. There's no use envying me. They should focus on trying to get themselves to get paid high. Have you ever been envied by other people?

As long as you don't show arrogance or act better than they are or mention your salary, you can do nothing to stop them from feeling that way. Maybe they know you think they are stupid and it's not even about envy of your higher salary. You're right though. They should be less concerned with your salary and more concerned about their own advancement.

Hmm...stupid people. They must not be worth it like you are. Oh yes, I was very envied in my profession years before by coworkers and even clients.

@Faster16 They may not have the brain power to do so

But it makes life troubling for you at your job and for that I am sorry. I feel you.

You can't change their attitude. Accept them as they are and ignore their jealousy. Focus on your work area, shine there and get more remuneration.

In the jobs I worked, nobody knew what another person made unless the person told them. No, I've never been envied.

This is so bad. People often envy others because of anything, such as looks, families, etc. If you want to change the relationship with them, try to invite them to have a meal to see whether the situation will be better. If not, avoid them.

Different skill levels get paid differently. I think it’s ridiculous they talk bad about you instead of being happy for you!

They're just jealous. There's nothing much you can do. It doesn't say much about them.

If they're your friends, they should be happy instead of being envious. But yes, there are lots of people consumed by envy, they can never be happy. There were times some people were envious of me too, but I never bothered listening to whatever they say, as long as my family and true friends trust me and support me.

yes. Many times and I know what you mean. I used to clean houses and offices. I always cleaned exactly like the client wanted me to and I always got the better positions. When I became a caregiver, I did the same and the clients always asked for me. People who are jealous should work harder and try harder like you do.

also you should stop letting them know what you make.
