Do you compete with your co-workers, even if it is sub-conscious in form?

Agree. I don't care what co-workers do, long as they aren't in my space. I don't trust them.
Sports is the only competition worth focusing on anyway.

I actively compete with my coworkers, with good reason. If they ever decide to let any of us go, it will be the person performing under par. If I'm the second most productive (I'll admit, someone else takes the top spot), then I'm not that guy.

I believe that's better to teach and help each other than compete at work. You better compete with other companies if you wanna compete so much

You can be the best performer and hardest worker and unless you are favored by management you’re just going to be the one doing all the work while the other(s) take and get the credit.

Then it's a bad employer and there's need to think about looking for another one.

DITTO. Never be the best at what you do and let someone else take/get the credit, that's foul on so many levels.
