You have a social circle, with social connections.

People you work with. Possibly customers. They would be affected.

I still occasionally mourn the death (wildlife traffic accident) of a colleague from a former workplace. That was 22 years ago, and there is this one interesting technical discussion that I wanted to have with them, that I will now never have. As a result, that coding project has not had a single byte changed in that time, because doing so pretty much requires having that discussion.

This was a person I only interacted with at work (or at work functions).
