I wish that we would finally move to a new building just so that we could have proper heating, cooling, and ventilation
When I took this job working as a sales associate in this old building, I was told that the company would be moving to a new location in a matter of months. It has been two years and we still haven’t moved out of this horrible place. The list of issues is nearly endless. The elevator constantly stops working, and all of us have independently been trapped in it at one point or another. Since there aren’t any disabled people in this building to complain about the flagrant ADA violation, management expects us to use the stairs. I wish that was the worst part about working here, but that’s just scratching the surface. The power goes out all of the time, causing all of our computers to inexplicably shut down in an instant. Unless you’re periodically saving your work, you end up losing precious data. This place is also miserable for indoor climate control. Since we have no shade from adjacent buildings, we are in full sun from daybreak until sunset. To make matters worse, the air conditioner can’t keep the inside temperature lower than 80 degrees unless it’s December or January and we have a particularly cold week. It’s miserable trying to work when you’re sweating and the entire room is permeated with a disgusting mildew odor. The ventilation is also bad so if you’re like me and you have sinus allergies, you’ll be congested constantly and will become a mouth-breather. I wish that we would finally move to a new building just so that we could have proper heating, cooling, and ventilation. If this goes on for much longer, I’m going to look for a new job with better indoor climate control.
