Office workers are increasingly ratty with one another over ambient temperature, according to a recent survey commissioned by uSwitchforbusiness.com.<\/p>\n

Three-quarters of respondents said air conditioning turn on in the office leads to arguments over the temperature. Almost nine in ten complain their office is too cold. Forty-seven percent believe air con spreads illness and 68 percent said they would prefer fresh air instead.<\/p>\n

But three in five (61%) of the 1,200 surveyed said being too hot at work was worse than being too cold.<\/p>\n

James Constant, Director of uSwitchforbusiness.com, quipped, “Instead of cooling things down, gripes and grumbles over air conditioning are sending temperatures soaring in workplaces.<\/p>\n

“Three quarters of us are suffering ‘air con rage’. These findings should prompt businesses to consider whether they are throwing away money when many workers are too cold.”<\/p>\n
