I understand this is an easily "crabs in a bucket" mentality where you drag down yours peers.

A crab placed alone in a bucket will easily climb out and escape, but when you place it with a few of its mates, this interesting phenomenon occurs: One at a time, as the crabs try to escape, other crabs will pull them back down to their misery and the group’s collective demise.

I understand you're being easily manipulated into a "crabs in a bucket" mentality.

The CEO makes more than me, I should be paid the same as them.

I don't have a job, but someone else has a job and they get paid, I should get paid the same as them for fairness.
