One young woman dealt with this after she got a promotion at work, to the displeasure of one of her roommates, who also happened to be her coworker. After she received the good news, she started noticing that the other woman was spending less time at home and committing time theft at work, and some of her other colleagues were not speaking to her.
She eventually found out that her roommate felt that she had taken a promotion that she should have had, although she never applied for the position. Things got increasingly difficult at work and at home, leading the other woman to demand that she move out. She refused to do so until the end of the month, but she wondered if she was being unreasonable.

37-year-old coworker accuses 23-year-old roommate of stealing promotion, has meltdown when she refuses to move out until the end of the month: 'She didn't even apply'
I don't know about you, but colleagues rank pretty high on my list of people whom I would rather not share a home with. It's not that I don't get along with them; it's that there is a high risk of potential drama that comes from mixing the personal and professional in this most inescapable of ways. When things are tense in the workplace, the place where you live should be able to be a refuge from that, and vice versa. Having the two be completely separate saves a lot of stress.
It isn't exactly common for coworkers to cohabitate, at least not with standard 9-to-5 office jobs. Still, sometimes circumstances lead colleagues to both live and work under the same roof. This is a situation that can test even the most rock-solid of relationships, so it is inevitable that the two-facedness that comes from the workplace can make things extra messy.
