My desk is under the air vent and I get cold
A couple of months ago, I got moved to a different part of the office.
My boss wanted me to be part of a different group that was struggling in the accounting area. I was happy to move until I found out that my desk was located directly under an air conditioner air vent. My boss absolutely likes when the temperatures are cool and frigid. I think he has the thermostat set at 68 degrees. There is a lock on the box, so we can’t actually see the indoor temperature unless we have the key. I would speculate that the temperature is around 68 degrees, but it honestly might even be colder than that. I get really cold now that my desk is under the air vent. I started wearing a sweater to work everyday. My boss noticed the sweater and he made a comment about my body and my lack of tank tops. Honestly, it was totally inappropriate for my boss to mention my attire at all, but I wasn’t going to hit him with a harassment lawsuit. I told my boss that I was having a lot of trouble staying warm due to the cold temperatures. He suggested I bring a blanket to put over my legs to keep me warmer. He never once offered to adjust the temperatures so I might actually be warmer. I guess that would have simply been too much to ask. At least when the winter months begin, I will be directly under the heating vent and probably the warmest person in the whole building.
