| You just have to keep a large wool wrap at the office. You won’t look old, just warm. |

| Buildings are cooled to a temperature for men wearing suits. Buildings haven't kept up with today's trends |

Same as my office.
I got myself a heated vest last winter. It helps tremendously. |

| Who cares if space heaters are prohibited? Get one anyways. I did this at my last workplace, and no one ever said anything to me. I would unplug it at night but didn't hide it. |

Ah yes, Women’s Winter: https://youtu.be/d2NNm8MTboA?si=RNODItpKlm6zsx87
I wear a fleece jacket over my clothing. It’s ridiculous! |

| I had this happen to me in Dec. I got a heating pad from Target that I used like a blanket and had it on my lap. I also brought in an extra cardigan for days when I needed it. The heating pad helped so much. |

| I almost can't enjoy the warmer months because the office is chilled to the point of ridiculousness. How is this good for anyone? How is it good to waste so much energy to refrigerate these giant buildings? |

[NP] when i reported it, they were able to move a few dampers and the temperature moved a couple degrees up. but that was the extent of rebalancing they could do; it's still in the 60s in my office and in the 80s in my boss's office. |

Fingers, nose and head are the worst and layers don't help with that. |

In my office, they go around and confiscate them. But 70 of the people have a treadmill under their desk. It's insane. |

Agree with heating pad or electric blanket.
Cashmere cardigan, throw, etc. I haven't had much luck with Quince for anything else, but their cashmere stuff is perfect for this. |
