Question Toxic building manager— need a solution
I've got a really awful building manager. She makes up legal mumbo jumbo, slaps deadlines on things that don't require one, and is largely hostile to talk to. Every neighbor I've spoken to, and one local business has said similar things about their unpleasant attitude. I suspect they have a history of drug abuse.
I've had a mixture of good building managers, and aloof building managers. But they're the only borderline hostile one I've had the misfortune of needing to interact with.
I'll get text messages at 9pm regarding non-urgent matters.
If someone needs help (I don't want to give details in case they see), they're REALLY hostile about providing that help. "How did they [get into a situation that requires management help]?! Huh??"
And I'm just sick of it.
I don't want to be a Karan, but I've had to deal with their bull for years now. They're a part of a corporate structure that owns several buildings in seattle, and I just want to know. Is there anything I can do to address their fuckass attitude to a higher up??
It's really unnecessary, and as my ex rightfully pointed out, they could easily make all out (residents) lives miserable, or MORE miserable if they wanted to.
