FloralFrolic+FollowCoworkers Acting Weird After My Promotion & Salary Bump 😰💸Hey everyone, I really need some advice here! 😅 So last year I was literally broke, fresh out of grad school with debt up to my eyeballs. But this year has been incredible - I landed an 80k job, started a side business that's bringing in another 40k, and just hit 100k net worth! 🎉 Here's the problem though... ever since I got promoted and people started noticing my "glow up" (new clothes, confidence, etc.), the office dynamics have gotten SO weird. My coworkers are making snide comments about my "sudden success" and I'm getting excluded from lunch plans. 😔 One colleague even said I'm "acting different" now. I'm the same person! I just finally have financial stability. Has anyone dealt with workplace jealousy like this? How do you handle it when your success makes others uncomfortable? I'm honestly considering keeping my achievements more private, but that feels wrong too. What would you do? 💭 #JobCareer #WorkplaceJealousy #CareerGrowth52Share
FlutterFalcon+FollowColleagues Sabotaging Me After I Hit $10K Retirement Goal 😰💸Hey everyone, I really need your advice right now. I'm a 27-year-old woman working in a high-stress corporate environment, and I just hit $10K in my 401k! 🎉 I started saving when I was 24, and I'm so proud of this milestone. But here's the problem - I made the mistake of mentioning my retirement planning goals to a few coworkers during lunch. Now they're acting super weird around me! Some are making snide comments about me being "too good" for the job, and others are spreading rumors that I'm planning to quit soon. My manager even pulled me aside asking if I'm "mentally checked out" 😔 I make around $55K in this expensive city and have been maxing out my HSA and childcare FSA too. My husband thinks I'm overreacting, but the office tension is killing me! Should I address this directly with my colleagues or just keep my head down? How do you handle workplace jealousy around financial success? 💔 #WorkplaceJealousy #RetirementGoals #OfficeConflict #JobCareer33Share
SerenadeSurgence+FollowHit My Financial Goal But Coworkers Are Making Work Hell 😩I just turned 30 and finally hit my 500k net worth goal! 🎉 I've been grinding since college, learning about investing and saving every penny. But here's the problem - I made the mistake of mentioning my financial milestone to a few coworkers during lunch last week. Now the office atmosphere is completely toxic. People are making snide comments about my "privilege" and giving me the cold shoulder. My manager even made a sarcastic joke about me not needing my paycheck anymore. 😔 I feel so isolated and don't know how to handle this situation. Should I just keep quiet about my achievements moving forward? How do you deal with workplace jealousy when you've worked your butt off for success? I worked so hard for this milestone and now I can't even celebrate properly. Any advice would be amazing - I'm really struggling here! 💭 #JobCareer #WorkplaceJealousy #CareerSuccess113Share
