Just out of curiousity, why was it deleted?

Date: 2007-06-04 10:38 pm (UTC)Is it just that they're self-righteous environmentalist asshats who don't understand how much heat a server rack generates or how much damage shutting down the A/C can do? Do they not understand that it's not a matter of IT guys running the A/C overtime just to waste energy, it's to protect the equipment?
(that being said, even if that's what they believe, walking in and just shutting the A/C off is kind of an assholish way to handle the situation, especially with the smarmy-self-righteous email on top of it ..)

I check my work email from home before I make my morning commute, so I can see what sort of maelstrom I'm about to walk into...
If you can guess by the subject of the post, this one is a doozy.

Re: A/C constantly running.
Hi Guys,
I came in today (Monday) to finish up a project I was working on before our big meeting with a potential client tomorrow, and I noticed that there were three or four large air conditioners running the entire time I was here. Since it's a three day weekend, no one is around, why do we need to have the A/C running 24/7? With all the power that all those big computers in that room use, I doubt it is really eco-friendly to run those big units at the same time. And all computers have cooling fans anyway, so why put the A/C for the building in that room? I got a keycard from $facilitiesmanager's desk and shut off the A/C units. I'm sure you guys can deal with it being warm for an hour or two when you come in tomorrow morning. In the future, let's try to be a little more conscientious of our energy usage. Thanks.
RESULT:
Fatalities: Exchange Server, Domain Controllers, a few Sun boxes that I'm not sure of the usage.
Near-Fatalities: Phone Switch, Apps Servers.
Temperature of server room 7AM Tuesday Morning: 90 Degrees Fahrenheit.
Status of Employee who sent the above e-mail: Terminated.
