I feel like sad and down because my colleagues got job promotions. Is that normal?

I only worked there so far for 1 month and my colleagues who have worked there for about 1 year have got job promotions. I’m feeling sad and down about the whole thing, because I’ve worked very hard so far in 1 month. Is that normal? How can I overcome the feeling?

It is normal - internally you probably realise that you are just as good and try just as hard.

Try asking your management - why you did not get a promotion and what can you do about it to improve your skills and qualities for other promotions coming up.

Good luck

    Yeah, it’s called jealousy. You’ll get over it, just know that you’re blessed and lucky to be alive.
