'It's 83°F inside the office': Boss refuses to fix broken AC in the office, demanding employees increase sales so the company could ‘afford the repair’

As soon as summer arrives, every office out there starts to deal with conflicts among employees regarding the AC. There is always that one coworker who wants the office to be freezing even when everyone else's teeth are chattering, and that battle continues up until the AC remote mysteriously vanishes and is nowhere to be found.

As much as this battle can be quite annoying, and can cause certain coworkers to silently curse that one individual who insists the office's temperature would not rise above 70°F, it is still much better than not having an AC at the office at all. A situation that the person who wrote this Reddit story is currently dealing with at their office. After the AC broke, the temperatures in OP's (original poster) office rose to 83°F, but the boss refused to get it fixed. While claiming that the company could not afford the repair, the boss demanded a massive sales increase in exchange for the office AC.
