When workplace advancement changes the dynamic in close friendships

My closest friend and I both applied for the same promotion at work and she got it, and now neither of us knows how to navigate the friendship when she's basically my boss and we're both pretending everything is normal. We haven't talked about it directly but there's this weird tension in every interaction.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Professional hierarchy collides with emotional equality in ways that threaten both relationships.
