Dear Annie: My friend got promoted at work, now she treats me like staff

Dear Annie: Coworker is no friend after promotion

I understand she has new responsibilities, but did our friendship have to vanish overnight?

Dear Annie: I’m hurt that my work bestie got promoted, now barely speaks to me

Is this a normal thing that happens in office friendships?

Dear Annie: Once friendly co-worker has become cold since her promotion

Dear Annie: I have a co-worker, “Jenna,” who I also considered a close friend — until recently. We’ve worked together for five years, and we used to grab lunch, text outside of work, even double date with our spouses. A few months ago, she got promoted to a management role in our department. I was happy for her — truly. But since then, things have changed.
