Quarrel over air conditioner

[Deleted member 48881]

Do you fight with your collegues over the degree of the air conditioner or whether to turn it on or off (rather windows etc) It happens constantly to us, mostly girls object saying it has become too cold now, so that only 25C or smth is tolerable, a lower degree well then they hate it and protest. It is not real fighting obviously, jokingly but still they mean it and go get the remote control lol

How is in your office?

Our is ok actually but you can wear t shirts, polos, shirts, jumpers so everyone can just adapt.

Our office temperature had the same problem as yours, Blokes wanting a proper working temperature whilst the women preferred to suffer in some sort of Tropical sweatbox.

So I decided, when the temperature goes anywhere near 22C, that I am perfectly within my rights to take off my T-Shirt and trousers and just sit around in my underpants all day.

The Temperature somehow magically never goes above 22C these days, problem sorted.

The amount of moaning some office workers do about temperature is unreal.

We had guys with hardhats, flame proof overalls, tyvek suits and face masks in the heat week before last. Was killer.

The problem is some people don't understand how air con works. Putting it on the lowest setting when it's hot, getting too cold so either turning it off or putting it on a much higher setting, and repeat.

Or opening the windows when it's on as well

Mine is at 17 degrees all the time. When people stay over in the spare room they have it at 22 degrees...i dont see the point at all. If you want it that hot just leave it off.

Girls always want it boiling hot...there must be something to do with mens/womens bodies as they seem to say its freezing when its just normal.

If its hot also people will be more relaxed and work less in an office environment...should be on cold.

My colleagues don’t use the air conditioning we’ve just had serviced and instead open all the windows and let the office fill up with dust from all the building sites around us. Utter morons.

The site manager would get in a world of trouble if you had an accident and weren’t wearing the required PPE/RPE, though.

It’s easy to blame the site manager but the pressure from above and fear of prosecution is immense at times.
