I bring and wear a jacket regularly. That is usually enough for me to feel comfortable. I also used to have a coworker who brought in a small battery powered heater.

I am layered up pretty much every day during the winter. It gets freezing in the office even when the thermostat is turned up, we joke that it is purely for show, think that might be factual though. Some days I’ve gotten close to wanting to wear gloves. I’m always the cold one out, but it’s not just me around here.

I have a heated desk pad. It is a game changer.

I was able to get a company branded jacket. It was great when I was in the office because I could always wear it without having to worry about sticking to a dress code.

Space heater

Two space heaters and a sweatshirt haha

Layers and layers. And space heaters.
