In June, my new supervisor decided to move our office from midtown to downtown, and we moved very quickly.
In order to get out of our lease, we needed to move in less than a week because the property manager had someone who wanted our office space right away. So, off we went, and we are now in a bigger office that is closer to the capitol building in our state. Right from the very beginning, it was always really hot in my boss’s office. Every day, without fail, he would complain about how he could not get his office to cool down enough to make him comfortable. He would set his thermostat really low, but the a/c never got the office cooler than 75 degrees. Also, to make matters worse, he would set my thermostat to 68 in an attempt to get my office area cool enough that the a/c would “overflow” into his office. Since I was getting sick of it, I went in and checked his thermostat. It was clearly flashing the words “replace batteries,” so I figured his thermostat wasn’t working properly. I went out and bought really good batteries and replaced them. No luck. Then, I got it in my head that probably didn’t know how to set the programmable thermostat properly. So, one day when he wasn’t there, I watched an online video about thermostats and went in and reprogrammed his. No luck. Finally, I contacted the property manager, and she sent an HVAC technician the very next day. That is when we discovered that the compressor on his HVAC unit was completely non functioning! I should have told the property manager sooner.
