I toil at a pretty small supplier, however both of us all toil together in a single big floor of a building; I have been there now for a few years, as have a few of my workmates, and one issue that is only getting worse is the fight over the temperature control.
It is an open method office, so both of us all have to agree on a single temperature.
This has not happened at all; Every season there is disagreement about where the temperature should be. It seems that every week or so somebody will send an SMS complaining about the temperature. Our supplier does not own the building, and so it seems that installing zone control is out of the question. It is all causing a lot of fighting among staff. The bosses allow as several space oil heating systems and fans as people want to bring, however more than a few times now these have caused fuses to blow and power to go down. They have looked into ductless mini splits and multi splits, however the property owners have also said no to these. This is why our supplier is looking for a new building to transfer to. Everybody is OK with us moving, however now that they have found a few potential sites, odd people want the supplier to rent buildings closer to where they live, so it is causing more fights and closed door meetings. If i was to be honest, most of my workmates are acting care about children about the move, and nobody wants to compromise on location if it makes them look weak. I don’t know when it will be sorted out, and what I do know though is that all potential sites have the newest Heating and Air Conditioning technology, so no matter where both of us go at least that problem will be gone.
