[quote=Anonymous]You sound like a real peach. From what you've described, no one is bitter because you're "smart" and do a better job than they could. They're bitter because you showed up and took all the plum assignments when they feel they have seniority. Read what you wrote. This tall poppy stuff is a narrative YOU'VE constructed about your life. You don't describe a single instance where you've actually been punished for being too good at your job. Instead, you gave us long paragraphs about how bright and wonderful you are and how everyone in life is threatened by your perfection. Attitudes like that are what drive people away, not the fact that you do good work. What you need to do is learn some humility.[/quote]
