☀️ UK Heatwave in the Workplace ☀️

- Every office feels like a greenhouse
- Every conversation starts with “it’s too hot for this”
- Office dress codes disappear overnight
- Someone’s brought in a desk fan older than the company itself
- Ice lollies at 2pm
.. and suddenly, air con becomes the most important job benefit of all 🫣

10 months moaning about the cold, then 3 days of sunshine completely wipes us out 😅
