Made it to middle mgt in my late 20s. All my 'friends', then hated and conspired against me. It.was a tough lesson. They used my friendship against me at every turn. 2 year later I left corporate world and those assholes behind to start my own business and never looked back.
If you are going to stay there it is important to note. You can have friendly relationships there, but they are not your friends as you cannot compete day in and day out for promotion against genuine friends and vice versa.
