ChargerMatt Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm gonna make this short... Our building is set to "unoccupied" on the weekends and midnights (something nobody knew). So the heat was turned off, and it was around 15 degrees this morning and we are right by the windows. So I call the building coordinator and he calls the HVAC specialist out here on a Sunday morning. The HVAC guy says "see this little black button on the thermostat?" "Press it." Heat comes on. I am astonished that the building coordinator did not know about this... just amazing. So my company had to pay an HVAC specialist to make a special trip on a Sunday. I want to see that bill for 5 minutes of "work". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 For the last 4 years, I've been working for someone who, ignorantly, has us meet at his house 10 minutes early everyday. So we can load into the work van and go to the gas station and get a cup of coffee, soda, snack before work. Like these morons can't handle that on their own time? I bring my drinks/snacks for the day and don't wish to burden others with my lack of planning. Then, at 9:30am, we hit another gas station, then at 12:pm, another, then at 2ish, another - Hey d-bags! Plan for the day and quit wasting my time!!!!!!!!!!!! I drive the work van too. You should hear the illegals squeal when I tell em "no pinche tienda bolsa de douches" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, don't get the wrong idea. I'm nothing more than a lowly paper pusher working my way through college. There is normally about 800 employees here on any given weekday. On the weekend? 8. I just take liberties on myself to fix stuff... gotta stand out some how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I just take liberties on myself to fix stuff... gotta stand out some how. Just as long as someone doesn't ask you why you didn't just push the black button on the thermostat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDude Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I know what you are talking about. Most systems where I have worked has a "HOLD" button. Where I currently work is is set and stays the same 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to my supervisor and she didn't know and the manager of the building didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
