I remember I kept a very frank and open approach in my interaction with the health community from my side. Unfortunately this did not take a good turn and the community’s actions ultimately led to stagnation in my EA work for quite some time. They did speculation regarding me with other people in then existing national group who themselves lacked good communication skills and never reached out to me. Had a severe existential crisis. Maybe the Health community didn’t intend to do this but yea I have sensed a toxic positivity. A suggestion would be to avoid one sided, back-end speculation about anyone. People considered for opinions should be encouraged to do so keeping the concerned (in this it would have been me) in knowledge.
I’m really sorry you had a bad experience with our team. You are welcome to share your experience with our team lead Nicole (nicole.ross@centreforeffectivealtruism.org).
Sometimes people want to discuss a concern with us confidentially – our confidentiality policy is outlined here. This means we sometimes don’t have permission to talk to the person concerned at all, or can’t share many details as it might identify the people that came to us. In those cases we sadly aren’t in a good position to discuss the situation in depth with the people involved. I realise it is really frustrating to receive only vague feedback or none at all, and in an ideal world this would be different.
