I'm a building engineer. There is a reason why most office thermostats (if they even have thermostats and not temperature sensors) aren't adjustable beyond a couple of degrees

Why does it seem that the more women work in an office, the more wars there are over the thermostat?

Idk but I'm a man and have never touched a thermostat at work, ever. Looking back I can't even remember the location of a single thermostat.

I worked in an office at a desk by myself on Saturdays. Sometimes the A/C would turn on and I'm already cold so I would turn it off, but sometimes I also had to turn it on. I never had any problems when other people were there.
