I have lived in my own building long enough and have served on our board in the past to have the opportunity to work up close with what appears to be rotating managers from our company. I think last calculation is 7 different manages in the 10 years I have lived here. I assume that is fairly standard for the industry.
Our most recent "new" manager has made a pretty harsh impression on our homeowners. Opinionated and dominant. I personally attended a board meeting where this persons personal opinion was tossed out there to the point she was raging about "how those fake medical marijauna cards, and the people who use are just druggies ruining our neighborhood. Instead of arguing the fact. I mentioned to her in open session, she should be cautious with that judgement as I have seen multiple people some with cancer who live in this building frequenting the neighborhood dispensery.. it shut her up. Yes this is a hot topic for discussion, just not the right forum.. Our managers opinion should have NO bearing at our meetings.
None the less, I emailed this manager regarding a maintenance issues ( yes my post on the termites) I mentioned in my email that one of my neighbors also called a couple of times ( and according to the neighbor never had any return calls ). MY return email from the manager said that the neighbors concerns were addressed and being looked at and "he calls alot with alot of concerns and issues"
Really it's a personality issues here. I have seen on some level everyone of our hired managers express a better than you attitude, but this is sort of over the top.
As homeowner we have to call in issues from time to time, I encouraged the homeowner who"calls all the time and has multiple issues to take my email and confront her supervisor.
Is there a better way to deal with something as simple as a personality/ power issue?? PM's don't get paid that well, I feel that her higher than you attitude eludes from the fact that they pay our bills, and in fact have power for our HOA.
