Some may have seen my only other post in the great Flat Chat called ‘The Faceless Men Who Control Our Life From Behind Closed Doors’.
Since then, after having robust ‘discussion’ with my strata manager and executive committee on the issues mentioned therein, I have now been ‘named and shamed’ in Executive Committee meeting minutes on a completely separate issue: for having plants on my balcony balustrade which are an OH&S hazard.
It is fair enough to be actually asked to remove them, though they have been there for 13 years, are anchored and none have ever taken the drop from the third floor. I have taken them down of course, but miss the, as they have given me great joy and amenity over the years. Other residents have plants on their balustrades too, still there, and they haven’t been identified as I have.
I can’t help feeling I am being being victimized because I had the temerity to disagree with our Executive Committee on the on the issues. (Availability of help when Foxtel and internet are down and can be fixed with simple push of button.)
My question is: Is it usual to mention, name and shame an owner, longtime resident in this manner? A simple note or even a formal letter would have been enough, or dare I suggest, phone call or knock on the door and polite conversation.
Naming and shaming? Not fair in my view.
