She Got Sick And Tired Of A Coworker Constantly Complaining About Being Cold, So She Finally Told Her Coworker To Cover Up And Dress More Appropriately
Have you ever gotten into any drama with a coworker?
It can make things in the workplace quite awkward, especially if the altercation ends in tears.
One woman recently told her rude, older coworker, who constantly complains about the office being too cold while wearing minimal clothing, that she should try covering up more. She ended up causing some office drama.
She’s 23 and works in tech. She works in an office with around 50 employees. The dress code at the office is quite casual, as most employees were used to working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I was really worried to integrate with an actual office, but it has been really chill so far,” she said.
“The only problem has been Beatrice, who has worked in offices a lot longer than a lot of us younger workers have. Beatrice is in her 50s and still tries to act like the queen bee of the office. We mostly just ignore her advice and try to get our work done.”
Beatrice complains about a lot of things in the office, but one of her most common complaints is that the office is cold.
She and her coworkers always found this complaint odd, as they live in the South, and the temperature outside can still approach 90 degrees in October. The air conditioning in the office is typically set to around 72 degrees.
However, Beatrice’s wardrobe is often the explanation for why she’s so cold.

“Beatrice tends to wear low-cut cardigans and pullovers and no bra,” she explained.
“She constantly complains [about] how cold it is in the office, even though we all tell her to put on an extra layer.”
The other day, Beatrice saw her in the lunch room and told her she’s lucky to have an “extra layer of blubber” that keeps her from getting cold in the office. This was incredibly hurtful, as she’s been struggling with her weight and trying to manage an eating disorder.
She decided to stand up for herself and snap back at Beatrice.
“She walked stiffly out of the room,” she recalled.
“My coworker told me she heard her crying in the bathroom. I feel bad for making her cry, but I also felt really offended she implied only a fat person could be comfortable in the [air conditioning].”
Should she feel bad for making Beatrice cry, or was she simply giving her a taste of her own medicine?
