It can be difficult to adapt to change when a subordinate is promoted. Recognize the change and accept it as a new opportunity. Once you've done that the next step is speaking up and getting along with your subordinate. There are many options for approaching the situation.
Speaking up
Speak out if you feel treated unfairly. If you aren't vocal, your reputation could be damaged and you may lose your job. Moreover, you'll be undermining your own contributions if you don't voice your opinion. Additionally, the company could make assumptions about you and not respond to your suggestions. It is difficult to speak up, so you need to be aware of your circumstances before speaking up.
If your boss makes a mistake, you should speak up. Speaking up will increase your influence and reputation and make you more valuable to your team. Research from Glassdoor shows that employees who speak up are more likely to get promoted than employees who do not. But, do not overdo it - speaking up is not for every situation. Some employees might be annoyed with colleagues who talk about everything all the time.
Complementary relationships with subordinates
One way to improve your working relationship with your boss is to learn how to communicate more effectively. These days text messages are the most popular way to communicate. Phone calls can be used to express your needs and concerns. Even if you are unable to meet face-to-face, it is important that you communicate your needs and concerns politely.
