Asking Eric: Condo Board Members Trying to Gaslight Their Way to Total Control; What Can I Do?
LOGAN COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 16 – Board members fail to address bullying and ignore questions, causing ongoing governance issues and public shaming within the condominium community.
- The author, a member of a condo board, reported that men on the board frequently impugn her honesty and behave in a controlling manner during meetings held last year after the annual election.
- Tensions stem from repeated confrontational behavior where the author is publicly berated when requesting different handling, and nobody else steps in to intervene.
- The board governs itself and the building maintenance, facing common condo issues such as conflicts over Parking, Pets, and People, which can exacerbate interpersonal problems.
- At the meeting, a board member claimed they had never discussed certain topics typical of such meetings, and the author experiences frequent questioning of her motives and information, which she finds aggravating.
- Potential outcomes include escalation of conflicts or unworkable solutions if more board members behave similarly, so suggestions include adding behavior discussions to meetings, mediation through management, and setting respectful discourse guidelines.
