If you have a job in a fair-sized office and you get promoted, here is how to handle your new caste problems gracefully. <\/p>\n

First, accept invitations to their homes; but reciprocate only with group invitations – then find excuses not to associate with them at all.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

So, is this brutal system useful? Well, it is supposed to be. For instance, in one place there was a manager who had two subordinate employees, who were sloppy and doing a bad job. They were also good friends of the manager.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
