Um. No idea where you got the jealousy idea from, it most likely just stems from the company and its employees trying to avoid the messy situations that can arise from fraternization cases. It far too easily opens the ability to claim harassment (sexual or otherwise), and creates unpleasant work places when work-based relationships go bad.
Rather than jealousy, your co-workers may feel that your job performance is declining because of your attention on someone at work, and they feel it is at the point that it needs to reach higher management's attention. Particularly since you mention that more than one person has been noticing the situation. Most people won't care what you do, as long as you're doing a good job...but if you're not doing so much of a good job, they'll start to look for reasons why.
I wouldn't really put this as something to be amused by, but something you should be concerned with, because it's grounds for disciplinary action in most companies, including termination of employment. And now that you're getting attention about one aspect of your work ethic, they'll be looking at others.
*shrugs* Just my thoughts on the matter, anyway, having seen the messes it can cause in the different work environments I've been in.
Actually, it's the kind of amusement that one might have when they had a series of events gone wrong. You know how they start to laugh maniacally because they just reached their breaking point? And if you worked with the people I did, you could understand how I could easily get the jealousy idea. There's more drama in this place than a soap opera at times. If my performance has slacked at all, it's due to the lack of respect and the wishy-washiness of managers and the procedures they want to enforce. We're supposed to stay by the main exit door, but we have to give over-rides down at other ends of the store. I let someone know where I'm going, but it's not good enough. I get a warning that I move away from the door too much and if it keeps up then I'll be written up. Yet, earlier they said it was fine to be mobile and considered it all the front end, now they said no. That someone has to stand by the door. They used to say it had to be another head cashier or above, and now it can be everyone. I'm just pretty much fed up and completely over this job. However it pays for the bills for now and I put up with it. Besides, it was more serious for him than me and it got resolved, so now we can kind of laugh at it. *shrugs as well* Just in case you needed to know further about the situation.
