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.
For instance, find ways of avoiding the old group at lunch time. Let them understand you cannot be one of them any longer.
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.
Break away gradually, but eventually reduce all contacts to office hours. Recognize the simple fact of office life that the higher you go, the fewer friends you'll have in the company.
It is likely that you already had some degree of familiarity with this set of corporate rules, however; I doubt you were quite aware of how powerful the whole code actually is.
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. - 15246
