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.
Continue at first to accept invitations to the homes of employee friends who now are your subordinates, but reciprocate only with group invitations. Then don't accept at all.
Work out a set of logical excuses for not joining the group at lunch or coffee breaks. Give your friends in the office every chance to break away from you. They know you can't remain part of the old gang.
If you are a married man, then it may be OK to let her take more time in this transition process - remember that she isn't as familiar with the office codes as you are.
Indeed, this severance of old ties is a gradual process which may take some time - but one day it is completed. Get used to the fact that it is lonely at the top.
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. - 15224
