It's absolutely unbearable in our office at the mo - the fans are on full blast, but we're still baking. The newly installed "solar shading" (supposedly eco-friendly alternative to aircon) is doing precisely f-all... they're talking about drilling holes in the walls now to let the air through - that'll be nice in the winter

I know the feeling, I have two fans near me circulating the hot air and they aren't helping at all.

Who is she? Who IS she? And where did you find her?

There ought to be a law! There's regulations about how cold it can get in the workplace before everyone's entitled to walk out, but no limit going the other way - so employers can happily let us all roast alive without having to do anything about it

err, are you sure there doesn't exists such a law? I think we have one in belgium, but i wouldn't know where to look that up

i'm told there isn't one in the UK - our health and safety law states a minimum, but not maximum temperature... probably a throwback to Victorian times when workers were basically just fuel for the steam engines..

Actually, for office workers in the UK, there are only guidelines - no enforceable levels or limits.

So, we're stitched up good and proper.

"Welcome to the end of the thought process..."

This isn't even funny anymore!! Somebody turn the air back on!!

Even sunbathing on the balcony with the fan on me was unbearable.
