Megan Jericha Lerchenmuller was more than a little annoyed after first meeting Glenn Kyle Williams Josey in May 2018 at the construction site of the Glasshouse, an event space on 12th Avenue off the West Side Highway in New York.
“This is Megan, she just joined our team,” Mr. Josey, 46, the project architect, recalled a partner of the Glasshouse saying before a meeting got underway in a makeshift office space.
Mr. Josey then blurted out: “Oh, you’re here to take meeting notes,” under the impression the partner would bring someone along for the task.
Ms. Lerchenmuller simply glared at him. She had actually been hired by the Glasshouse a week earlier as a consultant for business strategy.
“I’m going to tuck that piece of information away,” she thought, realizing they would have to work together “a bunch” over the next three years.
Mr. Josey, embarrassed by his assumption, ended up taking the notes, in addition to conducting the meeting. He had been working for Kossar + Garry Architects at the time.
