Target: I have an issue with the lighting in my
office. The ceiling lamps get strangely burnt very often and only one barely lights up. This week all are
burnt. Karen Mainpain, with whom I share the office asked me to buy a desk lamp
because she gets much light having her desk close to the window. But my side is
dark as I do not have window. She turns the lights off all the time causing me
discomfort, eyestrain and affecting my productivity. She claims that the light
from the lamps causes her problem.
MR Benoualid: Why don’t you ask a technician to
replace a lamp only in your side which is dark and leave the rest in the side
of your colleague burnt?
Target: I already asked the service but they
thought that I was joking. I also asked Karen to change desks. I can move to
the window side and she can take my desk in the dark side and buy a desk lamp.
But she was negative as she likes her side which is bright. The problem is that
she also likes playing with my nerves.
MR Benoualid: The suggestion to buy a desk lamp
seems logical to me. If she does not want to change desk you can not press her.
Do the other managers have desk lamps?
Target: Not in their offices, maybe in their
bedroom.
MR Benoualid: You need to make a compromise
since you share the office with your colleague. You have to respect their needs
and accommodate them.
Target: Mr Benoualid, office work is visually
demanding and requires good lighting for maximum comfort and productivity. Poor
lighting, especially the focused one by desk lamp, results to difficulty seeing
documents, eyestrain, eye irritation, blurred vision, dry burning eyes,
headaches and even blindness. Poor lighting affects not only the ocular system
but can also contribute to stiff neck and aches in shoulder area. These
problems can occur when people adopt poor or awkward postures when trying to
read something under poor lighting conditions. The necessity of lights in work
is not of question.
MR Benoualid: No, no, it is not from that, no.
Those can be caused only from sins. You do not get anything from that.
