We keep an old telco room stacked with routers, switches, and servers at a cool 89 degrees. Not because we wanted to, but because some dumbass partner of ours decided he'd save money and install the A/C and venting himself... all the wrong way of course. 3 tons of cooling in an 8x20 room... and you get hit with the heat wave when you open the door.
Sad/good thing is, our 15-year old used router gear there... currently has a two-year uptime. Go figure.
Of course when it does eventually fail, the partner will be running around jabbering about anything other than the environmentals.
... is that there is no way that guy would've been fired. Give proper coworkers/underlings? Nah. Given a raise? Nope.
But given a pink slip? Everyone there knew he was the demigod of IT in their little world. And he freaked out anyway.
On the note of being forced to work under conditions that are not up your alley... how long will you take it before you leave or get fired? Who's forcing the deathmarch for real? If you leave yourself in that position... it's you;)
