we wanted to get paid, or we could stick it out and do our best under the 90+ degrees and 95+% humidity. Most people chose to stay, and brought in personal fans the next day.

Time

Utilities out in office - do you give employees time off, or time off w/pay?

Paid time off today, and allow them to work from home for a couple days.

Not feasible to work from home. I wish, but not possible.

Why? Is It a meth lab or something?

I was wondering who's office was affected when I saw the AC guys out there.

It's not their fault

Not their fault but I bet everyone wants a company that's viable. Working in the heat maybe the way it goes for a few

Trying - brought in lunch, ice cream treats, bought fans for each, etc.

I think your employees will think it stinks & some complain but you've done what you can and should

Another option- go rent some big fans and bring coolers full of cold drinks and

This, combined with an option of coming in earlier than normal, seems reasonable

If I had a job where I was suspended without pay for a broken AC

Suspended? What? If your employers office catches on fire should you be paid

Every job I've had as an adult would have had a contingency plan

I have no idea what the plan is at my work, or anywhere else I have worked
