I know what linen is. But wasn't aware there were trousers made from it.
Air conditioning is sexist

18c for me personally.
But seriously.. She blamed a cold on the AC? Maybe if its VERY poorly maintained it may have some nasties on there but they very rarely make you ill but it seems she's trying to use the temperature as a point its made her ill which makes her quite retarded.
Im glad i work out of a van at times when stuff like this comes up. No women to deal with except at home and she cant adjust the thermostat

I get the feeling some intern was chuckling to himself when he came up with the name for that video.
As someone who works in an office with broken AC and dozens of computers and monitors on 24/7 I can tell you that sitting at a desk for 9 hours with swamp ass is horrific.

It isn't. It's set up to make the customers who complain the most comfortable at the expense of everyone else, including the staff. Staff generally don't want to work all day in a sweatbox and businesses generally don't want to spend any money on heating, let alone the amount required to heat a large area to 25+C despite large doors being opened very frequently to an outside that's <10C.
commuter trains are another example - typically on trains going into London during peak times all seats are full and plenty of people are standing, almost everyone is still wearing their coat... yet the heaters on the train are typically on full blast

Potential solution: Have the office cold at one end and hot at the other. Gradual gradiant in the middle. Sit where suits you best.

Alternative solution- have the aircon at 21° constantly and if people need to be warmer then they can wear jackets or have a small heater under their desk

But that's why so many people complain. 21 isn't perfect for everyone.
Heaters and fans have been specifically banned in our office.
This is ridiculous. The most pleasant room temperature is 22°C. In bedrooms, 20°C would be all right ok.
Someone from the senior managers must explain to these women in offices how many damages they do, both to the environment and to their company.

The 20C in the bedroom surprised me. I wouldn't be able to sleep as I would need it to be lower, like 16C tops. That said, I dread my next stay on a hospital ward as I know they're kept warm around the clock.
At 16°C I would rather catch a cold more than anything else.
I would be sweating buckets at 20 degrees trying to sleep as well. about 15/16 is best for sleeping and helping your body wind down.
This. Feet sticking out too!
As somebody who works in the industry it always amuses me when people are surprised to learn this
Women (usually) feel colder than they are due to genetics, people also percieve temperature differently as they age which somewhat corrects that. This is why most offices have a mix of older women and younger men, because they feel temperature similarly, if you mix young women and older men there's a legitimate danger they may fight over the thermostat lol.
It's a reference to the habit some prominent people have of telling us what year we're currently in right before or after throwing in some virtue singling comment in order to appear hip/progressive etc..
"It's [current year], [insert virtue signalling]"

@Pawnless Endgame you are incorrect.
There is a minimum requirement for temperature. That’s 13 if you’re doing physical work or 16C if you’re not.
Dealing with claims of “its too hot” every summer or “it’s too cold” every winter used to be a common occurrence in the NHS. Everyone wanted heating or AC, but no one was willing to do the simplest thing which is dress appropriately (where possible).
