Keeping distance from your former peers

Question

The truth is that it is a strange and funny question but I have ever seen that people tend to separate their relationships a lot because of this matter, have you ever seen it? Or do any of you feel identified?

what makes you have to?

Accepted Answer

Personally I feel like if i got promoted it was in part due to the people around me so I want to bring them up with me so we all keep growing, cutting ties seems silly, sure volume will drop but no need to cut

Answer

Your network is a majority of your value as you gain more experience. Always keep updating it and keeping friendly with former peers cordial.

Answer

Have you been recently promoted?

Answer

Not at all, I would never tear off the relationship because I outgrew them. There are always going to be SOME people around who’re not very happy but not ALL.

Answer

I'm going to be that person.

Answer

No,you shouldn't cuz at some point they would be promoted as well and they might get to same position as yours or even higher and if that happened your relationship with him or her wouldn't be as good as you wish at all!

Answer

Best not to overestimate yourself. Your former peer could be your boss one day. FFT 🤷🏽‍♂️

Answer

Why would anyone do that? Unless they suddenly thought a promotion meant that they’re a better person and can’t interact with anyone ‘below’ them 🙄

Answer

That’s lame shit imo. Solidarity with your fellow workers is much more important than kissing the higher ups asses

Answer

You don’t need to keep your distance but depending on the promotion, your relationship dynamics might have to change a bit.
