When workplace cohorts face unequal advancement and hidden competition

Three of us were hired at the same time and went through onboarding together, and we naturally became close, but now one person in our cohort is clearly advancing faster and getting better opportunities. The dynamic between us has changed and we're all pretending everything is normal while competing with each other in ways we're too uncomfortable to admit.
