There is no one that wants to talk about the thermostat
I loved where I work and I could not imagine working somewhere else, or doing anything differently in my life, then not only have I been here for ten years, however I hoped to be here until retirement.
- Last month, that feeling of happiness for my job and job location ended.
I walked to work one day, and all my energy was zapped. It was so hot and humid outside that I could barely breathe. I was smiling only because I knew when I got inside the building, the air conditioner would be working and I would be cool and comfortable again. Unfortunately, I walked into the building and it was more humid inside than outside. I asked the service guy when they were going to repair the air conditioner, and he shrugged. I went into the HR office and told her our working conditions were horrible, and they needed to repair the air conditioner, and she shrugged and said it would be fixed when the new contractor owner gave her the go-ahead. I caused the new contractor owner to comment and knew it was time to go. If they wouldn’t allow us to have excellent heating and cooling in our building, or had to feel about having the air conditioner repaired, it wasn’t somewhere where I wanted to work. They didn’t care about their employees..An hour later, I had sweat running between my shoulder blades, and my blouse was wet. I saw many people falling asleep at their desks, because of the lack of air conditioning. I packed up my desk and was heading out of the office when the head of HR stopped me. She said the heating and cooling professional would be there in less than an hour.
