Re: Heat in Office
I can understand where the OP is coming from. It is impossible to work in that environment.
When I started my new job recently, my space was allocated right under an Air Conditioning Duct - there are about four of them scattered around the office - but this was cold air blasting right down on the back of your neck along with a constant hum that was similar to being on an airoplane.
Because of the way it was rigged up, it was not possible to switch some off, nor move the desk away from it, because of power points in the floor. I was going home freezing every evening and with a headache.
I asked three times for it to be turned off - they ended up having to turn off the whole system, but obviously someone else kept putting it back on, because they were too warm somewhere else.
I voiced my concern to one of the admin. people who look after that, and her comments were "I am sick of people, too warm, too cold", so at that stage I was really cheesed off and said - "you sit there, then".
I went to my own manager and said I am not sitting there. I have a new desk now somewhere else and some poor bloke is now complaining (he likened it to being on a ship)
