I work in a really hot small office with a person senior to me. Today they have emailed to say they have switched desks with me. This means I'm away from the window, which I have to have open all the time because it's so hot. I also have a fan, but it's the breeze from this window that makes the difference.
I have five weeks before I go on mat leave, not sure why they couldn't wait, other than they "can't stand" having their back to the door. I'm worried that I won't be able to keep cool and the swelling I've been struggling with will get out of control and I won't be able to work... But I really can't afford to start my leave early.
Am I right to think that work have a duty of care in this regard? Should I be pushing to work from home? I've had a few days off recently getting pain control for SPD sorted and feel totally pushed out by this.
Thanks in advance.
