If you’re going to force everyone into the office five days a week, can you at least turn the heat on? People are sitting at their desks in coats, winter hats, and gloves. That’s not exaggeration either.
You made the RTO decision, not employees. If the company doesn’t want to pay to make the buildings habitable, then revert the policy. Forcing people to commute just to freeze inside an office is beyond ridiculous and completely self-inflicted.
I have had a bad cold all week, running nose, sneezing but sitting at a different telemarketer desk all week as well.
“ Count your blessings!”
Amen!
RTO and OpenOffice both are Concepts that have been discredited.
They were put forward by some Ivory Tower egghead years ago and Senior Management brought into them.
The problem is they've invested in it and how they can't back out without losing face.
You get to suffer while they get to pretend that they didn't make a mistake.
Amazon is preparing to cut up to 14,000 jobs in Washington state.
Count your blessings!
We could all band together to drive you out
We must be at office 5x8 but we have no dedicated desk. Where is the troll who hates people advocating WFH? Just tell me, why we dont have the desks to work on!
Running water would be nice. The out house is overflowing again..
Culture is most important, always remember!
I had chipotle for lunch. I warmed the office up at least 10 degrees with all my fl-tulence.
It’s all part of the new unwritten rule, make employees as miserable as possible, on multiple fronts. The more misery inflicted will translate to an increase in voluntary attrition.
Hey bootlicker, show us on the doll where Stankey touched you.
Not heated in HQ today. They must really be pinching Pennies. That earnings report is about to be a disaster
@b5 the downvotes are from the trolls and company sycophants. They’ve been brainwashed by his dark triad principles.
Why are people downvoting the OSHA comments?
That is 100% what they are there for.
Google the closest office to you and call them.
Makes for a good headline too. “AT&T workers mandated to work in office without heat”
Someone from McKinsey put it in a slideshow that you could save $1B per year by lowering the thermostat in every office by 1 degree. Stank said he’s “all-in” and to 10X it.
It’s like this in NJ too. They don’t heat the building. People wear winter hats and coats inside all day.
So cold in my building last year that the plumbing in one of the bathrooms froze. One year later the door is still padlocked closed. You know they're not fixing it ever.
Yeah. No joke. People in my office had winter coats and wool hats on in the office.
I left my "neighborhood" and found a seat on a different floor that was in the sun. I might just relocate up there tomorrow. I don't collaborate with anyone on my floor anyways.
@aj if there were an accessible thermostat I would turn it up, believe me. But there isn’t. Also this isn’t my responsibility you buffoon.
Stop complaining. Your sacrifice will help pay for Stankyland, the NEWEST happiest place on earth!
Soon they'll be stacking cubes two high. If you get the higher cube, make sure you leave an upper decker for the next person to get it.
“it should not be up to us, the employees to make things better.”
MANAGEMENT employees. .
@aj+1kfxswf2b it should not be up to us, the employees to make things better. What do you suggest, we bring in electric heaters? Stop with your insulting nonsense.
“ Five Days In, No Heat On“
Call OSHA, immediately.
What steps can YOU take to make things better in the office?
That is why you have no cubicle walls or more than 10 square feet of personal space in your sweatshop workstation now. Body heat is the new winter HVAC system. If you don't like it, resign so I can get another off-payroll-without-severance bonus. They are really adding up! Thanks!
If the situation warrants it, call OSHA.
It’s not just today and it’s not just one office. This is an effort nationwide to reduce the HVAC expense in the name of 5 day RTO. It’s like this every week lately here in Chicago
How about some basic sanitation, too?
