Some unwritten rules about corporate behaviour: If you get promoted to a position above your colleagues, then you should no longer have personal relations with them.
In the beginning, you can still accept personal invitations but only reciprocate with group invites; later find ways not to have any social relations with them.
Also, you will no longer associate with your old gang during coffee breaks - you are always "too busy". They will have to understand you now have a different role in the company.
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.
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.
Now, the two clerks were directly responsible for the company's loss of $40,000 worth of business. And when their boss was asked to fire these men, he wouldn't do it. Therefore, he was fired along with his fiends, the clerks. That was the consequence of his failure to separate friendship from the demands of the business. - 15359
