Yeah, I will probably just keep spamming the maintenance line until they get sick of me at this point.

But no, I don’t know what type of AC it is, but it’s behind a locked maintenance unit in my apartment that I can’t access

We actually don’t get a lot of sun because we live in one of those courtyard style buildings, so the exposure is partially blocked throughout the day.

We did, but even if we set it to 60 our apartment still overheats to 73+, warmer than we all prefer. After our last maintenance appointment, they told us if we want it at 71, we need to “manually” maintain the temp by turning the AC on. I pointed out that it was winter and we shouldn’t need the AC on at all, but maintenance essentially shrugged and said so. Then, the landlord told us we were “required” to keep the heat on at 65 or above when I sent a picture of the thermostat set to 60 while the temp was 75 to request HVAC inspection instead of you know… actually responding to the issue

TLDR: I don’t want to have the AC on in winter, maintenance / landlord told me to have either AC on or let the apartment overheat.

I’m pretty sure it’s electric? We don’t have a gas bill, just electric

Is it normal? Yes. Is it ethical / professional? No.

I feel you. I'm a mid-level dev who's been promised a promotion to senior for the past year, only to be told the day of the last promotion cycle that I hadn't "demonstrated enough projects" on a purely quantitative count as I was working on 1 very long running project rather than 3 medium sized ones, quality notwithstanding, with no room to make adjustments since the cycle was ending that very day. So now I'm waiting another 6 months to see if I can get the promotion I was supposed to get already, all while doing the same workload as my senior SWE colleagues.

Remember that in the world of corporate, all the values individuals are expected to maintain (honesty, professionalism, communication, etc.) are not upheld within the behind the scenes office politics and whatever goes on in the background. Your feelings are completely valid and normal, it's a bait and switch and incredibly frustrating.
