When summer hits our office, things heat up… and cool down. At the same time, we run twelve seasons.
Letโs talk about the real challenge of modern work life having four official seasons: Finding a temperature everyone agrees on.
โ๏ธ Outside: sunshine and 27ยฐC
๐ฌ Inside: full winter modeโฆ for some.
Yes, itโs summer in Zurich. The lake is sparkling, the ice cream shops are thriving โ and in the office? Thermal chaos.
One personโs in a ski jacket.
Anotherโs in shorts.
Someone is sweating under a blanket.
And someone else clutches hot tea, while glaring at the open window.
โ๏ธ Whatโs the โidealโ office temperature?
Experts say: 21โ23ยฐC.
Science claims: thatโs perfect for productivity.
The human body replies: โlol no.โ
At 21ยฐC? Half the team files for frostbite.
At 23ยฐC? The other half demands ice packs.
At 22ยฐC? Everyoneโs unhappy โ just for different reasons.
๐ฑ Enter the mighty cooling ceiling
In Zurich, air conditioning is out. Sustainability wins! โป๏ธ Full exposure to seasons.
Instead, we rely on cooling ceilings: quiet, clean, clever.
But also moody, slow to react, andโฆ completely useless once someone opens a window.
(And someone always opens a window.)
๐งค And so begins the climate dance…
- Scarf vs. sandals
- Hot tea vs. iced coffee
- Passive-aggressive fan wars
- Strategic desk moves
- Layering that would make an onion proud
- And always one person saying, โIโm fine!โ
๐ค Final thought: We adapt to Seasons.
๐ฅถ We freeze. ๐ We sweat. ๐ We joke. We learn to live with thermal confusion.
Because deep down, no one is really comfortable โ But somehow, it works.
๐ And to our brave Wealth Management colleagues in Singapore…
Where the office temperature only starts to feel โrightโ below 20ยฐC ๐ง
We admire your chill โ literally.
