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

... would you just say fuck it and go home?

The AC has been broken for the last couple weeks in this section of the building and with outside temperatures pushing 95 degrees, my office is pushing a hundred degrees (the thermometer has maxed out at 100). It's so hot I feel like I might pass out.
 
Well... given the situation... I would lounge around in my boxers and then page random people into my office. Win win win. There is no possibility of negative outcomes to this.
 
Depends what kinda of job I'm doing. Worked factory where it was 90+ degrees all summer long. Never left, it was part of the job.

Current ass in seat desk job salary? Yeah, I'd bail and tell them to call me when the AC was fixed.
 
well it depends. when i worked the frit oven at panasonic, lining up the tv svreens with the back of the tube for them to be baked together, it was HOT! 100 was no problem.

in an office setting i would go home. 100 inside is worse than 100 outside.
 
I always have a small fan on my desk and another on the floor for hot situations but that's too hot for me. I would go somewhere else in the building to work if I had meetings. If I had no meetings, I would be working from home.

Yeah.. I have a big box fan blowing on my from 2 feet away and that still doesn't help much.

I can't work from home (security clearance stuff), and I don't have vacation to burn, so it would be more like fuck it, I'm going home, you can't expect me to work in these conditions.
 
Yeah dude, get outta there. You're practically in a sauna given you're probably either in blue jeans and a nice shirt, or slacks and a nice shirt.

Can you work in another part of the building? Conference room?

I can't believe building services or someone in management hasn't relocated everyone or sent people home.
 
In construction, you do get sent home when it gets too hot. Very physically demanding outdoor job plus high heat/humidity is a recipe for disaster. I can't remember the exact temperature though. In the dog days of summer, construction workers generally do morning shifts before it gets too hot to work.

In your office, suck it up and buy a fan. Thankfully the AC in my office still works. For how much longer is anybody's guess.
 
Maybe i'll isntall a window AC in my door. Then everyone in the cubes can be jealous of my ice-box as I pump more heat into their area.
 
Hell yeah I would go home. I can't imagine working in the office at 95+ humid temps in Houston during the summer

I used to work in a welding shop where it stayed in the 100 degree range for months on end.

Some of the parts we worked on had to be preheated to 450 degrees before we could weld on it, and that was in the middle of July and August.

Suck it up, and do your job. If your hot, get a fan.
 
My office had the AC unit blown off the roof... so it has water... I get to say fuck it but work from home 🙁
