Anyone work in a skyscraper? I'm going to soon and need advice?

Question

Soon I'll be moving into my new cubical on the 54th floor of my companies headquarters in Chicago. I haven't been to the floor yet, but I've seen the building, and it's got very big rectangle-like windows. It's one of those post-modern sorta boxy like buildings but a little more distinct and built in the mid 80's.

Anyways, I'm worried about pressure, I've never before worked in a building this tall, or on a floor this high up. Is pressure a problem? How long does it take to get used to? I'm pretty sure I got a cubical somewhere near a window too, and I think there's not much but a vent at the floor to break the size of the window, making it pretty big. Does working near a window cause distraction or seem a bit scary to you? (I'm not afraid of heights).

Anyways, I'm very excited yet very worried because of reasons like this. Any adivce would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

for private pilots no oxygen is required up to about  15 000 feet agl or above ground... that buildings most likely something like 2 000 feet at the most ur good

Answer 2

Pressure is not an issue. Such high buildings usually have AC and proper instruments working behind the scene to keep the pressure at comfortable level. But yes, if you are afraid of heights, you might want to request your cubicle shifted to something away from the windows.

It scared the h**l out of me when I was working in the WTC in 1995 before the unfortunate incident took place
