Our HOA is managed by a smaller local management company. I also serve on our local HOA board with 2 other neighbors. This morning I called our management company about a leak in our building and was totally distracted by this comment. Manager” I was just making out my Christmas List for my properties”. Me ” what do you mean? ” Manager” you know how we sent out David and Harriets gift baskets?” Manager ” your hoa president was kind enough to email our management company and stated this” ” Dear Management, if you are going to send out Christmas presents this year, please do not send me any fruitcakes and I do not like fruitcake!” Me ” I am soo soo soo embarrassed, and ashamed that our president said this! Please do not let this be a reflection on the rest of our board!~”
Personally I am mortified that an adult professional woman would send that email to our hired management company! Is there anyway to make sure they understand how apologetic I am for this assss??

You should be equally mortified of the hideous lack of professionalism displayed by the representative of the management company. That was an absolutely horrid example of unnecessary gossip displayed by that employee and I would not EVER assume that that person would be loyal to you in the future.
The management company is supposed to work FOR the board – not be catty and trash the President to the other board members behind her back.
You apologized once. Leave it alone and I’d start making a case for a new management company.
Seriously. I’m not kidding.
That was the height of tackiness.
