Putting down others or yourself?
There is something called the Tall Poppy Syndrome; people like to cut the tall poppies. They don't want you to succeed and they cut you down - especially people from your own social class.Mark Burnett "Life is unfair! She only made it because someone had her back." Yes, you feel shortchanged sometimes, because when you compare your efforts with others, you come up short, especially when it comes to receiving recognition. Resentment then builds up over time against the person, your bosses, the person in authority or even the organization itself. Whether it is a fact or the truth, it does not matter. Giving in to such thoughts is the key issue. Don't follow this line of reasoning; It doesn't bode well nor reflect well on you. If you share it with someone, it is even worse. Now you're gossiping. How will that help you? Being a "wet blanket" or "cutting down tall poppies"…
