Today, I found a job after two years of searching. I excitedly called my best friend to tell her the good news. She decided break her own news about how she quit yet another good paying job and found an even better one within hours. FML

This actually happened a couple months ago, but I'm currently very happy with my new job (I work as a sales associate for my local grocery store, if you're wondering). I WAS very happy for my friend but I couldn't help but to be irritated at her luck of continuously quitting and finding jobs with ease (She works with elderly people). I had been near the breaking point when I finally got the job. My best friend, however, has continuously quit jobs and gotten new ones in no time. We obviously work in different fields and, even though I seemed jealous, I was very happy to hear she was able to land on her feet after quitting her job. We joke about it now and she apologized if she seemed rude and all is fine. :) I love the people I work with and am getting good pay. Win win! We're both happy with our current positions and things couldn't be better!

Well done. Hopefully you and your friend will continue to have employment for many years.

I was just discussing earlier today my plan to create a word for such a situation. We have words like epicaricacy or schadenfreude to describe pleasure derived from someone else's misfortune, but we have no word to describe a situation in which others' successes take away from our own happiness. Envy would only apply if you also wanted the job that your friend took.

I believe 'envy' or 'jealousy' are well-suited?

It's probably easier for her just based on her amount of experience. I hate looking for jobs... to get a job, you have to have experience, but to get experience, you have to have a job!!

It's much easier to find another job when you already are employed.
