Spoiled manager can't handle the thermostat

Somehow, all of this pathetic information was justification for his inability to manage the central heating and cooling system at work

I don’t know if I will ever understand privilege humans. I personally came from a background of poverty and blue collar workers, so the whole idea of expecting anything from life is foreign to me. I grew up knowing that I needed to work hard if I wanted to survive. No matter what is asked of me, I will get it done because there are no other options. Conversely, when speaking to people from privileged backgrounds, they very often have a sense of entitlement and refuse to be cooperative throughout their lives. This even pervades their professional lives, and causes them to be unfortunate co-workers and managers. Yes, I’m speaking about one person in particular right now. My manager at work is one of the most spoiled and entitled humans I’ve met. He doesn’t think that he should have to be a responsible employee, because he isn’t a responsible adult. The other day, he was telling me that he shouldn’t be responsible for the office thermostat because he can’t even manage his own indoor air temperature control at home. Apparently, he forgets to manage his central heating and cooling system all the time. The air conditioning system is always running at 65 degrees and he often forgets to have it serviced before the summer settles in. He never remembers to change out his air filters or have his air vents scrubbed, and he realizes that this causes him to pay a lot of extra money on his monthly energy bills. Somehow, all of this pathetic information was justification for his inability to manage the central heating and cooling system at work. Look, if you want to be personally irresponsible that’s one thing… But your HVAC entitlement must end at work.
