They would if the only difference with a competitor was the presence of ac. Assuming all other variables are essentially equal.

if no other companies they could go work at have ac either... what would be the point of quitting? people generally don't quit out of protest to just... do nothing, but they'd quit to go work someplace else.

who would seriously just switch jobs because of AC ?

All other conditions equal, I’d say a lot of people.

That’s the same as asking, “Who would seriously just switch jobs because of more money?”

It’s a quality of living thing. If you don’t loose anything but can gain something, why not do it?

I'm not sure why you wouldn't. You're spending a significant chunk of your time at the office. If you are uncomfortable all of that time it's a significant issue.

I mean if your job only allowed you to sit on a small unpadded stool, wouldn't that motivate you to find a new job?

It is plenty hot enough in summer in Germany to warrant AC.
