Should AC be a legal must in an office?
It’s July, summer is at its peak, and heatwaves are almost a regular occurrence across the world. Unless you live in Australia, where people are currently enjoying a chilly winter, or other places where summer is basically a myth, you must be sitting under the AC and finding ways to fight the heat.
Welcome to planet Earth.
As Europe has learned in recent weeks, surviving summer without air-conditioning infrastructure is basically impossible. Some days during this dreadful season cannot be lived through without some way to keep cool, and an AC is the best possible solution.
The fact that the company below decided to start saving money by shutting off the AC every day at 3 pm should definitely be illegal. What are employees supposed to do until they finish their workday at 6 pm? Sit at their desks and suffer in silence? How can a company be allowed to put its employees through this in the middle of summer?
If that’s not enough, recently employees learned that on management floors, the AC is still up and running way past 3 pm. Apparently, management doesn’t need to suffer like lesser workers. Their floor is freezing while employees below are forced to buy themselves fans to put on their desks.
If my company decided to do something like that, I would have helped them save even more money by quitting my job and never looking back. I am not going to sit in a boiling office while my boss is comfortably sitting upstairs, probably laughing at my expense. No AC = No work. It might be time for the employees to actually implement this rule at their office. I bet management is going to cave real fast if everyone simply stops working, or even floods the management floor and starts working from there…
