Y'all, I have a HEATED MOUSE for the office (plus space heater & blanket) but the mouse makes a surprising difference since my hand is always exposed!

My coldest winter was a summer in American AC /s You guys have really gone crazy with that. There must be à way to make the inside temp bearable without freezing your bones. Besides, every calorie that's removed from the air inside gets added to the air outside, so by overdoing the AC, you're making the air outside even hotter...

I've always had issues with being cold regardless of my weight but I've also developed heat intolerance due to autoimmune stuff as well as had hot flushes and flashes because of hormones and so at least from my experience I'd like to say that one intolerance doesn't trump the other. They're both miserable. Though I think people underestimate how painful cold intolerance is. And "putting on extra clothes" is not all that effective. If it was people wouldn't need gloves, spaceheaters, handwarmers, or to sit in their sweltering cars to compensate. You shouldn't have a work environment where a bunch of people are sitting in blankets. For those comments that say you can't mitigate heat, personal fans, cold neck compresses, cooling shoe inserts etc exist. The office running cold should not be the default. There may be no happy medium but there is a medium which is more fair to everyone. That way everyone can learn to adjust.

My in laws keep their ac very cold, so I am familiar with the experience of having to wear jumpers in 90 degree weather. It’s such a waste, I don’t understand it.

Menopause and an icy cold work environment=Heaven

My office is in an area that was a huge open space but they added our offices with zero changes to the AC set up. I am also on the side that doesn't get sun until evening hours. I stuck a temperature gauge, it's typically 64 F when I come in, if I open my door I can get to 66. When I did raise it high enough to get action, it would be 84! I really think maintenance is messing with me or I am being subjected to some kind of psychological experiment.

I work in a factory hall. 4° and we have one cold protection jacket for the whole shift. You bet I'm hogging that one!

Personally, I like a cool office. I hate feeling stuffy when trying to work. It's so mentally draining and literally sleep inducing. It's easier for someone to just put on a sweater than it is to try and get cool when already wearing a bare minimum. Again, just a personal preference and I understand why people would want a warm office. But it's already so annoying when I'm dressed for cold weather only to get on my crowded train where it's 80 degrees and I'm just pouring sweat. I don't want a similar situation in my office. Again, it's just my preference and not a personal attack on you.

Offices need to turn up the thermostat to 77 in summer. When it's set at 74 the cold air blows constantly trying to keep the temp down. Which makes you feel like your freezing. It also causes power supply issues. 77 is actually much more comfortable on a hot day than 74.

I WfH but my dumbass has my office in my basement where it's jus naturally cold. Every summer before emerging from below I have to remember to take off my sweater, blanket cape and house coat before going upstairs and getting smacked in the face by a wall of humidity 🤣
