If it were over 100 degrees in your office...

There were areas of the factory that stayed at 120F when it got that hot. My own job required me to crawl down into an area that was 140-150F with steam pouring off everything for 15-30 minutes. When I came out I looked like someone drenched me with a garden hose. But, then we were all lazy union workers so it couldn't have happened.

I'm a cook in Florida, the kitchen easily reaches 120-160 degrees, even with a 2ton AC unit blowing in (very small kitchen, maybe 14 x 24 feet). It's damn near impossible to think in there unless your in a sweaty zone. TBH I would prefer a 90-100 degree desk job, but I get paid more now than I would starting anywhere else. Made $78K net last year, not including $1k a month cash bonus.

So, not an office and not a broken AC. Why did you post in this thread again?

I wouldn't even work if it were 80 I'd go home.

80 is only midly uncomfortable. 85 starts to get uncomfortable and at 90 its hard to even leisure at a computer let alone do work. That factors the east coast humidity. Now living out west as well it doesnt really compare when your ass doesnt get all sweaty just from sitting there.

We're talking about something subjective though. While some people may consider 85 only uncomfortable, others contemplate mass homicide by this point.

Bucking hay through high school, helping my dad with the cattle growing up, roofing in the summer (one of our rent houses needed some just about every summer), Building a 120'-65' building with my dad (and others of course) for a dollar general franchise, brush-hogging for my grandparents local oil company, I realized working manual labor in the hot humid oklahoma summers wasn't that great. In fact it pretty well sucked.


I realized if I didn't want to be working my ass off for not that much money for the next 40 years, I better learn a skill. Now I work a desk job as a drafter, and am much better off for it. I get to do field work, so I get just enough taste of working outdoors in the summer to remember why I wanted a desk job in the first place. I apologize if I haven't "proven" myself to you by not preferring to break rocks in 110F heat for minimum wage instead of sitting down in AC for much more money. If that means I'm not a man, let me know now so I can go get some implants to play with.

Clearly a moron too dimwitted to learn to do anything other than manual labor at $7.15 an hour.

Put on some light colored slacks and go sit in some water. Then tell everyone you are a really sweaty person and start sitting in their chairs and in conference rooms and such. They'll probably ask you to just go home.
