Human resources departments in the past handled issues of jealousy and unfair treatment in the workplace by counseling employees and terminating those who caused problems. However, human resources now focuses more on hiring, firing, and avoiding lawsuits rather than dealing with interpersonal issues. As people succeed in their careers, they will inevitably face jealousy and envy from others. It is important to identify signs of jealousy from coworkers early on and respond tactfully by staying positive and focusing on teamwork rather than individual accomplishments.
