Boss refuses to turn on the office AC during heat wave, employees sneak into his office and hide his personal fan to force him to change his mind: ‘He eventually joined us’

• The employees below were determined to change their boss's mind when it comes to the office AC. During extremely hot days, the boss refused to turn on the AC in the office and insisted that the employees stop complaining about the heat. All while he sat in his own office, comfortably chill with a fan by his side.

  This is how the employees decided to “convince” their boss that the AC is an absolute necessity:

  “I used to work in a hardware shop here in the UK. We had a heatwave one weekend when I was working; the shop floor was roasting but, despite calling upstairs, the manager wouldn’t turn on the air con from his office, telling us to stop complaining, but he wouldn’t come down to the floor.

  Eventually I went up to see him after several complaints from customers about how warm it was. I found him sat in his comfy chair, with a fan on his desk whilst he pi**ed about with spreadsheets.”

• "The moment he went on his lunch a few hours later, my supervisor and I shot upstairs and grabbed the fan, went down to the stock room and stamped on that fan until it was in pieces. Then we dumped the evidence in a bin bag in a public bin outside the back of the shop.

  The stupid old bs**ard spent the rest of the day lamenting the loss of his fan, searching around thinking we’d hid it and, when he eventually joined us on the shop floor for the final hour of the work day, decided we did indeed need the air conditioning switched on."

• "Every morning after this, we ensured our large industrial bin was dumped in his parking spot, so that he’d have to get out of his car to move it before parking. Every. Single. Morning. For years."

• The determination of these employees to get what they deserve has taught their boss a valuable lesson, one he will hopefully continue to listen to in the future. All it took was to show his employees that he cared, and they wouldn't have retaliated. But when he refused to listen to them and showed sympathy for their situation, they found a way to force him to see their way.

  The commitment to the bit is what really sells it 😂 like you didn’t just make a point, you made it a whole long-term project.
