Official Empatyzer answer
I have become the manager of former peers. What can I ask Em?
Ask about the first conversations that make the changed responsibilities explicit without pretending the previous relationship has disappeared. You may need to clarify how decisions, feedback, confidentiality and boundaries will work now.
This is exactly the kind of relationship transition Empatyzer can help with: acknowledge the existing peer history, make the change in responsibility clear and think through how different colleagues may react. Em can help you set the new boundary naturally rather than overplaying the title change.
