I work in a retail environment—no uniform, and I can dress casually. Many of our customers stop in at their lunch breaks, after work, etc., so I “see” how professionals dress. And of course there is ALWAYS the images we see on TV.

When did grown women STOPPED wearing both panty and and sleeves? Even in “business” casual (men wearing golf type shirts) some of the women oddly dress for their positions and age.

Sleeves. Pantyhose (or just wear slacks). Shift dresses, 3 in heels, and 40something arms/legs exposed are not professional looking at all.

Boy do I sound cranky....must be warm. Better crank up the AC...

And while I’m at it....”stay off my lawn!”

I thought you meant that the women are now going commando. I was hoping you’d tell us where this office is.

You should swelter because ‘climate change’ and other nations don’t use AC as much as we do.

Lol.

I can’t believe the goofs I’ve made, and it’s not even 7am!

Maybe I should stay off my own lawn for safety.

I used to work in an open spaced call center. When the old ladies showed up early in the morning, they would turn up the thermostat to 85 and sometimes 90. By the time I would arrive around 10 pm, it was a sauna but those old bitties never noticed. It was up to somebody else with the nerve to turn it down.

Call me crazy, but if you have one group of people who tends to be more comfortable in cool temperatures and another who tends to be more comfortable in warm temperatures, then it seems logical to set the building temperature on the cool side and let the latter wear a bit more clothing.

The alternative is to set the temp on the warm side and have the former lounge around nekkid, and nobody wants to see that in the workplace.

Someone in our offices is often complaining about the temp. Sleeveless in October at times.

There are very few people who look good sleeveless.

Our home is totally air conditioned with the thermostat set at 73 +/- one or two degrees. My wife loves warm weather and will go outside to the deck, or where ever, to “enjoy the warm and often very humid air”. This past week we have seen temps (outside) in the 90’s, she loves it, I’ll stay inside thank you.

The thermostat battle in every office is between the young ladies and the menopausal ladies, and between the thin people and the fat people. Also, we didn’t need a study to tell us the best temperature for those who find 70 too cold is, well, a higher temperature. One of the signs of a government created supply bubble of academics is “studies” concluding what your grandmother could have told you.

I have worked in a lab kept at 65 for the electronics.... and in another that they couldn’t get below 94 because of all the gear they had in there. You adjust.

LOL! I agree with you.

The headline is just trying to get our attention. The main point is the change in work attire. (Women who get cold more easily are probably equaled in number by women who are having hot flashes.)

And this is from a so-called “science” website?

Not shocked as leftists now push utter bulls*it by hiding it behind supposed science and then daring you to dissent least you want to be seen as being “anti science”.
