Chaos in the office

At the office that I used to work at it was I’m very tense and unfriendly work environment.

Most people tend to make a few friends while at work because they are running for eight hours every single day, but working there this just wasn’t the case.

The reason for this had to do with the heating and cooling units. Half of the office always thought that it was too cold inside, and the other half, always thought it was too hot inside. This ended up leaving too many arguments during the middle of the workday about who gets to change the settings on the heating and cooling units and people sneaking around during break time to turn the Heating units up and down. Eventually after a few too many heated arguments, I decided to try to solve the problem the best I could and I create a scheduled plan during the week. Certain days the people who liked the office a little bit cooler would be in charge, and on the other days the people who preferred it to be warmer inside would be in charge. I was hoping to finally stop all of the confrontation and bickering about the heating and cooling units as if we were still high schoolers. For the first few weeks planner was actually doing its job and people were and getting along a little better in my office. Over time however, people began trying to take over certain days that we ended up right back on square one. Not too long after I decided to leave that job, and I am much happier working at another office in town. People are getting along much better, and it is still crazy to me how grown adults can be so petty about simple things like the heating and cooling settings.
