[@sterlingsilver5937]

Facts! Just the other week my superintendent was saying that I Wasn't working fast enough and I was mad as f***. Part of the problem is that they want to put pressure on workers on workers in the construction industry knowing good and well that the labor pool is shallow. I've been able to kind of work through that at this point however they need to understand that if I'm not good enough for the job I have no problem with being replaced but I'm gonna do my best and that's all they're gonna get.

[@Skydron]

I work in a prison as a kitchen supervisor and this hits a bit close to home for me as well. During our summer months, the temperature inside the kitchen can reach upwards of 100 degrees at times. We were supposed to get a new AC unit last summer and it actually made it to the facility... and then was "redirected" to be installed over the admin area where the warden has his office. Needless to say, we in the kitchen (offender and staff alike) are just a wee bit salty about this. Interestingly enough, we can't seem to get any of the admin people to come down and see what it's like, and any staff that come in generally stay in the kitchen no longer than they have too. We've complained bitterly, and I'm fairly certain that the offender kitchen workers have started the process of making formal complaints from the outside, via their families. Can't say that I blame them. Supposedly we're going to get an AC unit this summer, but I'm not holding my breath at this point.

[@peanutheadrules]

That sounds really rough.. I wonder how the laundry area is. That one was always hot and dealing with all the hot stuff out of the dryers only makes it worse. Good on their families for making formal complaints, hopefully that can start to get things movin for ya! You guys have hot stoves and no AC… f that. Is there anyone you can file a complaint with? HR?

[@FartBox_BeatBox]

I'm not in a prison, but I am a supervisor at a factory. Our AC went out at the end of last summer and our admin was supposed to have it fixed before the start of this summer. Turns out they kept putting it off to make our numbers look better on paper and figured they would have time to have it fixed before the weather got hot again. Well, here it is 105 degrees outside and 114 in the plant and the plant manager is saying they cant replace it until the end of the fiscal year which is next month. Meanwhile they're sitting cool in their offices.

Brings back memories of working in a warehouse without AC in the summertime. I used to drink a gallon of water before I started my morning shift. And then wash the salt out of my uniform regularly due to sweat. The amount of blood, sweat and tears that make up "the economy" should not be understated. I think lots of government type people would benefit from a week or two loading up vans in a 100+ degree warehouse with a forklift running 80% of the time.

I worked as the food service officer at my local correctional institution for a while. My office had AC most of the time but i rarely went into the office because i like to move while I work and staring at the cameras just feels boring. Occasionally I would go into my office to do paperwork or eat lunch and inmates would always "conveniently" need paperwork like inmate request forms or the like. I obviously knew they just wanted to sit in the AC for a minute or two while pretending to fill out a form and I would let them because it's fucking hot in Florida and sons of these guys were in their mid 60s. Well one day the AC went out at the peak of summer and it got so hot and humid in the office that water actually started accumulating on the floor. I filled out the paperwork to get the AC unit fixed but it was so broken that it had to just be replaced. I ended up getting told that it wasn't in the budget, which is bullshit, and that I would have to wait a few months for it to be replaced. Well the officer uniform is fucking crazy. The Class B uniform is basically black pants, a dark shirt, a black undershirt, and combat boots. The class A uniform is even worse because it's long sleeves, and we would have a uniform inspection occasionally, which required us to all show up in Class A. While the AC was out, i showed up in Class A exactly once before the inmates started raising hell on my behalf. I guess when your almost pass pout from heat exhaustion it starts to get people's attention. Next day, I'm coming into work and the major tells me that a new AC unit would be installed in just a few days, and since my weekend was coming up it would be installed before I came back. Turns out that the inmates started getting their family members to complain to regional about the AC unit being broken and a safety hazard. Supposedly they were going to start complaining to the media about it but i don't know how true that is. I'm sure the inmates did it so that they could get AC for a few minutes at a time, while also making sure i was taken care of since most of them respected me

@@MrStaybrown I let all my MSHA certifications expire after I came out of Africa in 2005. I did pit mining and don’t like the responsibility of underground and all the equipment that can cause fires. Oil has its problems but I prefer not to be burned alive underground kind of reminds me of what hell might be ! I did gold mining In Ecuador and Chile but it was all topside ! I’m sad to stop traveling outside the country but I can’t leave for another year until my Ecuadorian wife gets her citizenship !

I work for a tree service in Oklahoma, can confirm that even our damn foreman was sitting in the shade with a melted refreezeable icepack, and it was still hot enough in the shade that our newest hauler cooked a damn breakfast bowl with eggs bacon and cheese on a pan on the ground, last week his shoes melted to the ground it was so hot.

108 degrees? Vegas: you babies.

Love the vids

[@prairiehouse1884]

I actually locked out the ac for the front office years back, for that very reason. 😅 never had an issue again with management about working in the heat again.

Damn, Ricky's answer is on point!

Stay safe and hydrated out there boys! Long sleeve white T’s can help. Dunno if it’s allowed on job sites, but they have these neck fans you can get. I’ve seen ppl wear them at amusement parks, it wraps around your neck and has 2 little fans pointed at your face

[@kaitan4160]

WEl sounds nice, but surely isnt allowed where i work. Fucking Ex1 Areas .....

[@blakerose4609]

Dang 108? It was hot as fuck a some days ago. But last few days have been low humidity it's 81 right now. Partly sunny. Shit feels great really. Don't even have to water the peppers every day right now.

[@shmac96]

108 heat index? shoot! Where I'm from I've seen 118 and even 120 in SE Tx. Worst I remember was working on the end of a motorized auger digging post holes with no shade in Winnie, Tx along side I-10. I couldnt do that work now. I was in my mid 20s when I was doing that. Even our Mexican friend and colleague said it was hot lol. Cold beer never tasted so good when we were done.

[@TheArkTheArkTheArk]

I worked on a steel pickling line with some very hot machinery, whatever temperature it was outside, you added 15-20 degrees Fahrenheit inside the room with the line. And probably an extra 30% humidity. Which was fine in the winter but in summer it would occasionally get to around 105-115 degrees with high humidity. Managements solution was fans and electrolyte popsicles. I got outta there in less than a year, moved to another department.

[@Dragon_Lair]

Dang. A better solution would be fans, buckets of ice water with foam straps that go around the neck that hold that cold water to help keep the body cool, coolers full of water and a designated break area that has shade, air conditioning and/or fans and even more coolers of water, gatorade/powerade and a fridge for people to bring their own lunches. Nothing anyone can do about the weather but those foam tubes that go around the neck go a VERY long way.

[@TheArkTheArkTheArk]

@@Dragon_Lair we did have an AC break room but it’s six people running a line that requires…six people people to run. So if somebody wanted to take a heat break it meant production grinder to a halt which got management bitchy.
