    A job is about you and your employer (you do tasks they pay you compensation for the tasks), it is not you and your coworkers.

    Do your work, go home and enjoy life outside of work. You have to stop worrying about other people, and the need for absolute fairness, life isn’t fair.

    We have equality as a human rights concept, but equality does not mean the same. Men might have to lift heavy patients, women may be asked to console a sad person, senior workers may have become fixtures where they have freedoms juniors do not. Smokers might get smoke breaks.

    Focus on you, and let everything else roll off you like water off a ducks back.

        The Buddhist have good wisdom on this.

        Like if a person bumps into accidentally in a hallway, its OK and we move on. If they do the same bump but on purpose, we are resentful. Even though the bump is an identical physical action against our body. Our mind reacts differently, so it is learning how to reframe the things that happen to us so we can enjoy our life, and letting the animalistic feelings fade and not consume us.

        This video has a good section on forgiveness, and I think that his wisdome here works on a lot of things besides forgiveness.
