Getting promoted to management brings some welcome benefits, from higher pay and perks to elevated status. After the congratulations are over, however, many new bosses ponder a more subtle change: Why don’t I have friends at the office anymore?
Tim Tolan first noticed it when happy hour rolled around after his first big promotion at a previous employer. As a vice president overseeing several of his former peers, he could see the parking lot from his new office. “I looked out my window Friday afternoon, and there went the gang,” he says. “I also had a view of my former friends every day as they’d leave for lunch.”
Co-workers’ barbecues and cookouts went on without him. “The flow of invitations came to an abrupt halt,” Mr. Tolan says. Conversations stopped when he entered a room. “The moment I walked in there was silence, like they’d seen the dead,” says Mr. Tolan, chief executive of the Tolan Group, a St. Augustine, Fla., health-care affiliate of the Sanford Rose executive-search network. “It was a little bit of a wake-up call.”
