Of course I won't feel good. (who would lol?)

But I'll try to use this to motivate myself. I mean, usually they don't get promoted for no reason - there must be some quality they possess that contributes to the company...

I like to share a personal experience.

When I first started working (as a fresh grad without an official degree yet), just like everyone else, begun from the bottom of the lot. I did work my way up, producing outstanding results and productivity (despite not having to OT too much).

Within a short period of 4 months, I was given the responsibility as team leader in a project, supervising a team of 8 members. Statistically, I was the youngest in the team (at 22 years old) and also the most junior of all (having joined the company for merely 4 months).

I faced a lot of personal battles in within, fearing that jealousy or back-bitting would arise (which I later learnt that it would happen anyway, under any circumstances). I wanted to decline this role and told my division head that someone with a higher seniority should be assigned this responsibility.

A short lecture was given to me, and with some words of comfort and encouragement, I took on the challenge.

It turned out that my team members were highly supportive and understanding towards me. They hardly brought up the issue about age or seniority, and we worked cohessively as a family.

I guess at the end of the day, it's neither age/rank/seniority/strings that matters. It's what you have to offer, be it in terms of skills/knowledge/talents that dictates your position in an organisation.

well, i said u got a good team there..

the raise of other ,,might motivate u to do more work,

your performance is what matter...

OOOhhhh wat to do leh,,,,

dunno brush shoe? learn?

If he is better than me, i'm okay.

in order to gain respect from others...you need to respect urself and ur peer first. conflict will be there either direct or indirectly...so it depends how you face and solve it. this will indeed test your skills in managements and problem solving.

like it ornot ..
the cobbler always find its way to survive ...
sometimes u lose out to ppl bcos u dun brush shoe..
lol

for many, of course the feel of upset (even just a little) will be there. but there must be a reason for he/she to get a better increment / promotion or some sort of recognition. if he/she is not as good. then, you got a lousy boss. ((side note: having a lousy boss is 1 of the most common issue why a person resign...))

sometime judging your colleagues ability with "year of working experience towards this company" is totally wrong perception. who know what he have done in the past is greater advantage then you. even though, he/she is fresh, it doesn't mean you (who have worked there longer then him/her) are better. this is called competition!!

"see it as a motivation"!! hmm... depends. some may take it as motivation, but a lot have taken it upsetly and became de-motivated. why? because this is the culture we are in. it is just the matter of how fast the guy recover from demotivation or he will not be (>>resign, as a result).

anyway, what's your feel, then? it happen to you (topic starter)?

shouldn't feel bad on it, we should encourage oursleve and perform better in order to get the same thing as them. Unless that colleagues knowlege,skill or performance is really sux .... then will feel that the company really unfair to me.

realise that life was never meant to be fair and yes i've seen people who can talk cock more than perform gets further than they are supposed to but my believe is so what ? this world is unfair yet can be fair at times, you give up something in order to get something which is true ALL the time, sometimes what you giveup is insignificant thats why you think its free but nothing is free
they do make sacrifices but you cannot see it
and yes some company are really run by people who prefer cronyism than strive for excellence
