I work at a pretty small company, however we all work together in 1 crucial floor of a building! I have been there now for a few years, as have a few of our workmates, and one issue that is only getting worse is the fight over the temperature control.
It is an open method office, so we all have to agree on 1 temperature… This has not happened at all… Every season there is disagreement about where the temperature should be.
It seems that every month or so somebody will send an email complaining about the temperature. Our company does not own the building, plus 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 multiple space oil gas furnaces plus fans as people want to bring, however more than a few times now these have caused fuses to blow plus power to go down. They have looked into ductless mini splits plus multi splits, however the landlords have also said no to these. This is why our company is looking for a current building to transfer to. Everybody is OK with us moving, however now that they have found a few potential sites, uncommon people want the company to rent buildings closer to where they live, so it is causing more fights plus closed door meetings. If i was to be honest, most of our workmates are acting like children about the move, plus nobody wants to compromise on location if it makes them look weak. I don’t suppose when it will be sorted out. What I do suppose though is that all potential sites have the newest Heating plus A/C technology, so no matter where we go at least that problem will be gone.
