Scenario

When friendship and professional competition collide

My best friend and I both applied for the same promotion at work and she got it, and now we're trying to pretend everything is normal but I'm hurt and jealous and she's being weird and careful around me, and we've been friends for eight years but neither of us knows how to talk about this without ruining everything. Work feels terrible and our friendship feels terrible and I don't know which one matters more.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that some forms of competition can't be separated from love without honest acknowledgment of what's at stake.
