It did not take long to feel the warmth, and I was so grateful for my bravery (or desperation) to crack open the box
I adore my job, and the people are good and the work/life balance is perfect for me. I’ve regularly loved everything about this site, however last year, I had a entirely big dilemma. The heat and air conditions in my office are horrible. There is no thermostat within my office and the only other thermostat is located down the hallway and it’s locked, last winter, I found myself shivering and bundled up in blankets in an attempt to stay warm. When that wasn’t enough, I brought a portable heater to stand at my feet under my desk. Since I still wasn’t easily comfortable, I decided to find the person who had the key to the thermostat. I sent out a bunch of emails and asked everyone I possibly could, however nobody had the key to unlock the box around the thermostat. After searching for weeks and nobody admitting that they had a key, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I cracked open the box around the thermostat and changed the thermostat myself. I knew it was frowned upon to do this, however the air quality was horrible in the office and I wasn’t the only one complaining. If nobody was going to admit that they had a key, after that I would solve that issue myself. After cutting the box, I instantly reset the temperature and waited for more heat to flow through my air vents. It did not take long to feel the warmth, and I was so grateful for my bravery (or desperation) to crack open the box. Since then, nobody has said anything to me about me cutting it off.
