Are you employed in the corporate world, and get promoted to a higher position? Then you are supposed to gradually disengage from personal relations to your former peers, now your subordinates.
First, accept invitations to their homes; but reciprocate only with group invitations - then find excuses not to associate with them at all.
Also, you will no longer associate with your old gang during coffee breaks - you are always "too busy". They will have to understand you now have a different role in the company.
If you have a family, then you may give your wife more leeway in disengaging from the old circle of peers. After all, she is not as savvy as you are regarding the corporate rules.
Yes, the process is a gradual one but eventually there will be no contacts except in the work context. You need to understand that the higher up you climb, the more lonely it gets.
I guess you had some inkling of these things, but did you fully understand the brutal reality of this coded system?
Is the caste system considered "good"? Yes - and essential. One department head told of an accounting manager having two close friends working for him who were inefficient and resented by other workers.
These hapless employees caused the company to lose business worth $40,000. When their manager was told to get rid of them, he didn't take action. As a result, both he and the two clerks were fired. This manager failed to understand the demands of his position. - 15478
