Cheesecake Feedback

At Twin Oaks there are a number of formalized processes for confronting issues that come up regarding specific members. One of these is a ‘community feedback,’ in which a meeting is open to all members of the community to share concerns about a specific member. While they can be brought forth by any member concerned about another’s behavior, feedbacks are often called automatically by policy in certain situations, such as having a negative labor balance for too long or not adhering to provisions of a personal behavior contract. While innocuous-sounding in name, they are generally a pretty stressful event for the focus person and other involved parties. It’s a chance for any members to call out, face-to-face and in front of the community, pretty much anything they take issue with.
