Wage Cage Hot Box

🄵

I’m sitting at the wage cage front desk when I glance at the fan display next to me …

84*F

I look at the news and see that temperatures are, in fact, about to rise…

So to say it’s HOT in this b*tch 200x200 box is an understatement.

The reason for this heat?

AC is broken.

So the only source of ā€œcoldā€ in this entire room is a tall Hampton Bay fan (they bought it after I bitched and moaned for weeks)…

Which ironically displays the temperature as a constant reminder of the joyous heat.

I’ve asked Management about the AC. They say it will be fixed ā€œwhen the lobby gets renovatedā€

Hey, nothing wrong with that. I would also be saving money if the AC replacement cost a couple of grand.

But here’s the problem…

After asking around, the staff say the problem has been going on for…

  1. YEARS.

YEP. FOR 3 YEARS(!) THIS FRONT DESK HAS NO WORKING AC.

Naturally, I’m KINDA curious to know what’s going on.

Have they always said, ā€œWhen the lobby gets fixedā€?

So I ask the Soul Bound Maintenance Chief (he’s been here for 21 years)…

ā€œHey so, when does the lobby renovation start?ā€

ā€œOh… that?ā€ He starts laughing ā€œThat’s been planned to ā€œstartā€ since 2021!ā€

I stand there absolutely FLABBERGHASTED.

HOW DID THE LAST COMPANY WORK THIS WAY? DID THEY SERIOUSLY JUST SIT IN THIS 80+ DEGREE WEATHER WITH NO AC? FOR 3+ YEARS

😪

Now obviously, this is a losing battle. If they haven’t started this project in 3 years…

THEY PROBABLY WON’T START IT NOW.

But hey, this new job site is nice. There are few people and a LOT of downtime which is always great.

So I’ll just keep bitching and moaning until they:

A- Fix the AC

B- Fire me

Until then, here’s today’s adequately named HEATER.

It’s a phenomenal spring anthem and the song that plays in my mind whenever I set foot in this oven.

Njoy.

Always Forward

Hz

P.S. It’s 87*F now, help.
