Hi Larks, thanks for the pushback here. We agree that this is hard to judge. Unfortunately, some of what this was was about the general atmosphere of the place which is unfortunately a bit fuzzy.
People said they feel a pressure conform / defer to these people as well for example at lunchtime conversations. People have also said they can’t act as free or as loose as they would like in Constellation. So it’s maybe something like feeling like you have to behave in a certain way or in line with what you perceive the funders and senior leadership want in order to fit in.
Although this may be present in other offices, we think this pressure is more pronounce at Constellation than other coworking spaces like the Open Phil offices or Lightcone, where we think there is more of an ability to say and do what you want.
We know this probably isn’t as satisfying as it could be, but appreciate you taking the time to point this out and we will edit the post to acknowledge this.
