"You are smart to consider the optics of letting the world know your good fortune. Unless your boss is encouraging you to announce your promotion, now is the time to keep that to yourself. Do your job with your head up. Be aware of what's happening in your friends' lives. Be humble. You can and should go to dinner or drinks with family and/or friends outside of your job. Don't post your celebration on social media, though. Ask your friends to do the same."
"DEAR HARRIETTE: I have a friend who is an immigrant, and he has been out of work for nearly two years. He has cobbled together enough money to scrape by, but if he doesn't find a job soon, I worry that he will lose his apartment. He has a few close friends, myself included, who have helped him whenever we can, but it's getting to be too much."
A person earned a significant promotion during a major company reorganization after working extra hours and contributing usable ideas. Many coworkers face unchanged roles or potential phase-outs, creating sensitivity about celebrating success at work. The recommended approach is to keep the promotion private unless encouraged to announce it, continue performing professionally, remain aware of colleagues' situations, and celebrate with family or nonwork friends while avoiding social media posts. A separate case involves an immigrant friend unemployed for nearly two years, relying on a few close friends for support until that assistance becomes unsustainable and housing may be at risk.
