> Temperature was often above 30 degrees in the summer. I didn't think much of it back then, went into office, started working and forgot everything but after a while I realized I was drinking 1.5l water during the work day without needing to visit the restroom and I would be exhausted when I came home.
These conditions are improper for extended work hours and intellectual work. I don't know how it is on your country but generally there are regulations regarding that. For offices the ideal climate is ~25 degree C, 40-60% humidity and <1m/s wind.
- eitland 5y ago> These conditions are improper for extended work hours and intellectual work. Have my upvote, I agree. But let me share why I sat there if you want (warning, somewhat violent towards the end): I wasn't supposed to be there but the alternative was working in an open floor plan office where everyone from project engineers to service managers had access, and that was purpose-built to be cool so that it could be shown to customers. > I don't know how it is on your country but generally there are regulations regarding that. Norway is good at this but sadly we don't have effective regulations against managers who come into the room "joking" about impaling some people from another culture on our coat rack :-/ In my case I found it better to stay in the radio lab instead of risking that conversation or another one like that going in the background while I was one the phone with an important customers.
