I love working from home, but does anyone else miss the free office air conditioning? Southern fella here (Nashville)... how are y’all staying cool? Sometimes I feel bad for running AC in my entire house just to cool my office.

I don't miss office AC... always had to dress like it was freezing cold in the 100 degree LA summer lol

Aww, that’s such a bummer. Glad to see different perspectives—and yay for being more comfortable.

Why Don't you get a window unit just for your office then?

I'm in Florida, it's been over 100 here. My ac has been non stop for weeks. My office is so hot I have 3 fans in addition to the ac. I bought a portable ac unit today for the office. It better work tomorrow cuz I can't take it.

I’m in Nashville too. I use a desk fan to supplement the air conditioner.

DE&I is now a core leadership competency.

Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.

Wow…covid is really over. I live in a rural area where we knew covid was happening but it never really impacted the community or daily life. However when I’d go into the city it was very very obvious there were huge life impacts and fear. I just went into the city for the first time in about 3 months and it’s like covid never happened. It makes me wonder how many other things that have drastically changed (like wfh and hand sanitizer) will go back to normal as people go back to normal.
