I have been working in the same administrative office for the past 9 years.
My chair has lumps in the bottom that are in the exact shape of my rump. I have had the same exact Starbucks Coffee for half of those years. There are 2 other administrative assistants in the office with me. During the day both of us usually turn the A/C down to a comfortable temperature. It is only the 3 of us in the office plus both of us all like that temperatures to be cooler. I don’t mind wearing a jacket. I love the cold air running on my neck plus back. Every one of us had a meeting with the superintendent Last monthand the guy said something about the cold temperatures in the office. The following week, the maintenance staff came to the office to install a lock on the control unit. They absolutely sited a box around the control component with a key lock. Only the maintenance manager has access to the control component which has now been set at 72°. My coworkers plus I are completely up in arms about the swings. It is disappointing for someone else to control the temperatures in the office. How can they possibly think if 72 is going to be comfortable or not. On a cold, drury, plus rainy day, 72 might be too cold. During the fall when the daylight is shining brightly plus the air conditioning component is off inside of the whole building, I like to have A/C in the office. Now both of us will have to abide by whatever rules the superintendent has felt fit to enact.
