Lookback: After the person left the company

Jealousy of a coworker's abilities and attractiveness

I bullied a coworker who was better at their job and more popular, which led to feelings of insecurity and jealousy.

What I wish I knew
"I should have focused on my own strengths rather than tearing others down."
If I could tell you one thing
"Recognize and address your own insecurities before resorting to bullying."
