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.

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

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

Yea, this doesn't work but thanks.

What, specifically, did they say or do when you asked?


[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.

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?

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.

Ah yes, Women’s Winter: https://youtu.be/d2NNm8MTboA?si=RNODItpKlm6zsx87


I wear a fleece jacket over my clothing. It’s ridiculous!

Same as my office.

I got myself a heated vest last winter. It helps tremendously.

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

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