Just had a moment of clarity and reflection about my job. Moved to NYC just over a year ago. Grinded at a shit hourly job and then finally landed a job at way above the salary I was expecting. Brand new client, first PM job since interning in 2018. Helping to build a social team's processes and I've been unnecessarily hard on myself but this is a huge undertaking and our team is constantly getting better. Just a positive reflection in some hard times in a tough industry.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
