Beat the Heat: How Workers Are Winning Fans, AC, and Even Heat Pay
Companies cheaping out on fans is mind boggling. I know it's because the desk jockies in their air conditioned offices don't understand what it feels like to suffer and they're too stupid to understand how unsafe the heat is, but they're so fucking cheap! Holy shit I could outfit my whole team's work area with total air circulation for, like, $400. Save lives, make us more productive, barely spend any money, but nooooo they want to squeeze blood from stone and refuse to do fucking anything without the workers uniting against them.
It's the shortsightedness that is the real problem here. Idiot managers are looking for the immediate cost savings and not understanding how much it hurts them, almost immediately down the line.
These people need to experience an actual day of work.
Yup, between turnover and worker's comp and sluggish work speed they are losing way more money than they're saving by not buying a simple fan.
