I worked closely with Owen for several years. This was not my experience with him nor the experience of many others who worked with him. I found Owen to have “favorites” he treated well and others he treated very poorly. Including me. The pain he inflicted on me was not trivial and still bites.
I’m really sorry to hear that this was your experience. I don’t know who you are, but … I wish you’d said something at the time? (Though I recognize that speaking up can be difficult and costly, and I don’t think you had a responsibility to speak up; I’m just expressing a felt desire to have lived in the world where you had.)
Or if you feel like you tried to say something and it didn’t get through, I’m sorry for that.
Without knowing more I don’t know how much these are issues where I’ve updated my policies in the meanwhile. I guess not entirely (in that I wouldn’t have described myself that way). If you feel like sharing more information (publicly or privately) I’m interested, but I don’t want to put you on the spot just because you wanted to share this high-level experience.
