We have fat pasty lad and lasses walking round with not enough clothes on, sweating everywhere.

Plenty of those around (not just me either) :sad:

I must confess I would have most of those if I had a massive garden, particularly the water slide.

 

Pond doing lovely though :)

Had a bit of rain on the way into work this morning.  Got in the office receptionist 'Ooooo we need it though don't we' :lol:  In a couple of weeks will probably be 'We aint had a summer have we?'

Honestly, the melancholy flows through you like Matrix-code through Neo.

I've just been ordered to leave the office because I was 'working alone, in building with no air conditioning.' So instead, they agreed for me to be at home - working alone, in a building with no air conditioning.

I ain't sad, I just highlighted the ridiculous irony of what they said. I'm a keyholder of the building so asked if that meant I have to wait until someone else turns up each morning before I can go in :lol:

They are if you are working from home. You should be treated the same as any other distant/mobile worker

 

Are your company liable for the air conditioning situation in your own home if you're working there rather than at an office?

Not explicitly, but they have a duty of care under DSE legislation to ensure your working environment, including home environments is fit for purpose. Hybrid working policies legally are a fucking nightmare.

Surely you didn't actually just go home and resume your working day from there? That's literally your boss handing you a get out of work free card.

What Craig said, but at least in the UK there is no maximum (or minimum) temperature specified for workplaces. The legislation uses the term “reasonable” and then it’s up to the specific company to justify their management of it, usually depending on the type of work done there and other mitigating factors.

 

Not sure if legislation is different in NZ though

It probably is different but thats not why I was asking, my interested in the idea that if you are allowed to work from home that the company actually has some stake in the state of your house.
