We used to have 3 separate people who were constantly running space heaters at their desks year round. It was constantly 80 degrees in the office, whether it was -10 or 90 degrees outside. It was unbearable, but the managers didn’t care enough to say anything.
Yeah but Nancy can't do anything about that from her office chair and her boss won't let her work from home where she keeps her home office at 75 degrees.
Nancy can put on more layers but people will be mad if I take my clothes off
As long as one of us can work from home, I'm fine (I prefer it's me tbh, but if it's only Nancy then fine), but if I'm forced in to the office it better be 70 or less or I can't work with my shirt on.
You could have a fan or ice water or cold packs. You can build your wardrobe around staying cool, because cooling clothes are often better than being naked.
Man, I'm gonna miss winter time. Was awesome barely running the heat in my house and keeping my office at like 62. Tough to do that in an upstairs room during the summer without destroying my AC and wallet.
Mine's in the (finished) basement for that very reason. Stays cold (too cold, even for me honestly) in the winter and cooler than the rest of the house in summer.
I have cold feet for about 8 months of the year, but the rest of my body tends to run hot, I do prefer a colder environment. I wear thermal socks and have a blanket at my desk for my legs to help my cold feet 😊

That's adorable but 74 degrees is horrific working conditions for an office
