Except it wasn't the basement and first floor.

It was the first seven floors. Coincidentally, also the floors most of the higher-ups don't work on. Or at least that's how it's being reported, so I don't think people's outrage is absurd.

4pm on a Friday, people were likely already heading home. This is being blown out of proportion.

The broader discussion about AC in Europe is good to have, but this specific story seems to be borderline click-bait.
