Why should I?

You can wear shorts if you want.
Or light trousers.
Or get yourself a fan.

#376

Everyone wearing skirts I say.

The temperature shouldn’t be so low in an office that having bare legs makes you uncomfortably cold though.

#378

To be more comfortable when you are at work I suppose, same applies to the ‘just right’ group they could probably have a more comfortable commute if they wore lighter cloths but most put up with it for a more comfortable working day which is a lot longer

I would disagree because if someone with bare legs is comfortable then some people with covered legs almost certainly won’t be

#382

What? Is everyone just comfortable at a precise temperature?

Like, when I’m in my flat later, I’d be okay if I was wearing shorts, jeans, tracksuit bottoms, etc. The temperature isn’t so precise that I have to change to get my body to a comfortable level. A workplace temperature should be the same - if it’s a reasonable temperature then people in skirts or shorts or trousers should all feel fine.

I’ll take it.

I was googling how much a slanket is cause it’s really our only option at this stage.

I found out that this exists though and i’m HORRIFIED.

I didn’t say everyone I said some people, I think that is true if some people are comfortable with bare legs it means some other people, not everyone, will be uncomfortable. It is a difficult thing to balance and impossible to please everyone but at least if people err on the side of cooler, people have the ability to adapt their clothing, an ability which is much more restricted if erring on the side of warmer

These are the business (and also a great baby gift for people with a maxicosi):

TBH it sounds like your office is just cold full stop

Are the people arguing the temp is OK

  • doing it as some kind of ridiculous macho pose?

  • benefit from reduced heating bills for the office somehow?

#392

We are all men and I have just dropped ours down to 19c

#393

that’s how a fiefdom works, I guess

#394

Well yeah, as the boss and with the controls directly behind me I can do what I like (although I did just do the drop on request).
