Ha! Reminds me of a job I worked at years ago. Corporate saw it fitting to change all the thermostats for the air conditioning to be controlled remotely by them.. in a different state, with different weather..

In the winter it would stay cold and they would never turn the heat to an appropriate temp.

I took a hook and installed it above the thermostat. In the mornings I would fill a plastic bag with ice and hang it on the hook.

Too cold? Move the bag closer to the thermostat. Too hot? Move the bag further away.
