When wanting to be fair fights your own self-interest

I could take credit for a junior colleague's idea and it would help my promotion, and honestly no one would ever know. I want to be fair, but the system already feels rigged against me, so why not. I keep going back and forth, caught between the person I want to be and what would get me ahead.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You want to treat people fairly, but self-interest and an unfair system keep pulling against it.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
