Introduction: In a co-working space marketed as collaborative, innovative, and safe, I have experienced the inverse: chronic theft, verbal harassment, safety violations, and institutional negligence. As the architect behind multiversal diagnostics and sovereign frameworks, I write not just as an individual, but as a builder of systems meant to prevent the very conditions that now surround me.
📚 Timeline of Recorded Incidents:
-
Early 2024: My $100 overcoat was stolen shortly after I entered the building.
-
December 2023: Food stolen by an individual later confirmed to be a former client with no authorized access to the building.
-
August 2024: A man entered the workspace, verbally assaulted me with hostile and degrading language—again later confirmed to be someone with no access to the building.
-
Three months ago to present (2025): A man named Joseph, with an office on the 11th floor, has repeatedly stolen food from multiple kitchen floors and was observed using the microwave to heat suspected drugs, followed by smoking indoors.
-
Ongoing: This same individual continues to stare at me aggressively, contributing to a hostile psychological environment.
-
Management Response: Silence. No confirmation of action. No protection provided.
🔍 Diagnostic Analysis: The question is no longer “Was this an unsafe moment?” It’s now: “Why does this institution respond swiftly to harmless infractions—but not to threats?”
Their warning about a simple paper I placed on a phonebooth door was immediate and stern. Yet when faced with:
-
Theft from shared spaces,
-
Unauthorized individuals entering and confronting clients,
-
Drug-related behavior on-site,
-
Direct harassment and psychological intimidation— Management chose silence.
This selective enforcement and chronic dismissal now reflects Institutional Harassment by Omission. When the architecture of response is designed to exclude justice, the framework itself becomes complicit.
⚠️ Sovereign Findings: I have already reported these incidents. I have named the individuals. I have documented the timeframes. And I have received nothing in return. No follow-up. No protective policy. Not even acknowledgment.
This lack of response signals a form of narrative erasure—a workplace structure that disables the very sovereign autonomy it claims to support. It’s not just neglect; it’s organized non-response, sustained by the illusion of professionalism.
💡 Moving Forward: Bibebibebibe™ will publish this openly. Our diagnostic platforms will log it. And if Spaces continues this path of selective silence and protection of aggressors, their brand will be encoded into the public record—not as a hub of creative energy, but as a failed diagnostic node in the story of sovereign reconstruction.
We are the architects. We will not be erased. We will not be made to feel unsafe in our own narrative laboratory.
