I don’t disagree entirely but removing clothing stops being an option at some point and if I’m expected to get work done I’ll be far better at it if the temperature isn’t making me miserable
You still don’t need to turn the AC up to the point where some people start freezing.
IMHO, it’s not the slightest bit unreasonable to just expect everybody in the office to be able to deal with any temperature between 20C (68F) and 24C (75F) without complaining.
What if they’re dressed in a manner of which so they don’t have to change when they go back outside?
That still doesn’t excuse that level of wastefulness whatsoever. Oh no, a mild inconvenience!
The AC is also part of this wastefulness

Yes but the temp mentioned was higher than that, so really we just all agree on this
Layers exist
Just carry half your wardrobe around in and out of the office with you every day. It’s common sense.
Carrying a long-sleeved shirt with you in case it gets a bit chilly is not unreasonable.
What about a spare pair of shorts in case is warmer outside than the office which requires you to wear pants
Deal with it? I’d rather dress for the 8 hours in the office than for the 30 minute way home.
I already wear long sleeves to work.
I just keep a hoodie and a spare T-shirt in my closet at work.
Your fashion sense is your own but you might get a little overheated with half of your wardrobe. Unless you’re a real minimalist
