It is not fun to sweat.
I know a lot of people who love going to the gym will disagree with me but it is the truth. Even people who love to exercise do not like smelling like a wet sock. And that is exactly what everyone smells like when the summer is here and your air conditioning isn’t set to the max. From someone who lives in a warm climate, I can safely say that the hot weather is never as fun as how they show it in the movies. That includes the beach as well.
However, you can curb most of that weather with a well-placed air conditioner and by setting the thermostat cool. That is not all as that means your electricity bill will be through the roof. And I speak from experience. But I always say that your comfort is more important than money but most employers don’t understand this simple fact. And the same can be said for this particular person. You will understand what I am talking about once you scroll below to take a look for yourself.

I understand wanting to save electricity but this is a new low.
What else could this person do anyway?
While I do believe talking to the manager should have been the first solution, they might have talked and the manager must have not listened. Honestly, that doesn’t sound too out of the ordinary for how most of the people with power act anyway. And what else was this employee supposed to do anyway? I do believe this might have been the only way other than quitting the job entirely.
People were quick to share their own experiences with similar situations.
People can find creative roundabout ways of getting what they want.
Maybe they just feel really warm easily?
This story is definitely quite relatable for many people.
That sounds quite cold to some but for me, that is way too warm.
What are your thoughts on this behavior? Do you think this was the only way this could have been resolved? or should they have talked to the manager first? What would you have done in this particular situation? Have you ever been in a similar situation?
