I've noticed where I work (hospital) the latex gloves are much harder to pull out of the boxes than they used to. I'm wondering if they are compressing them more to take up less room (smaller boxes, less warehouse space needed, fit more on a shipment,...)?

Thank was my other thought. They are pretty tight in there. I'll have to compare the two and see if that's it.

Not only packing them tighter, but since everyone is now allergic to everything and it causes some type of disease or cancer, they are no longer powdered to prevent sticking while lubricating them for removal from the box.

Seen this at one of the places I was servicing some refrigerators and freezers at.

10 thermostats for all the different air conditioners all located in one room. There is no way this would work with all the different A/C's in different zones how is the thermostat supposed to be able to maintain the temperature if it isn't in the same zone? Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to be fired.

I bet it was someones brilliant idea to keep other people from messing with the temperature. "I'll just have all the thermostats moved into my office so I can keep track of all the set points" 🤦‍♂️

And none have the capability of having a remote temp sensor for said room they're controlling
That's very possible. Even if so, something is still very wrong. It may be hard to see but in my full sized photo I can see a few set point temps and a few actual temps and none are even remotely close to the set points. So, one or both possibilities: all the A/C's are broken and/or the thermostats are not remote sensor capable. Based on what I saw there with their other equipment I would guess the former

I do that on boats so the captain doesn’t have to disturb guests while onboard. I use remote temp sensors, it looks slick and works well when implemented properly. That looks like shit.
