When I came into my office this morning, I found that my boss moved his resin printer into my office and the setup reeks of solvent (it smells like a hundred uncapped expos). Are these fumes fine? Or am I gonna end up with half a melted brain by the end of the week?

Quick update: talked to my boss and he'll be moving it "soon". I think I'll just wfh for the rest of the day.

Update 2: my boss apologized and moved the printer and resins out. 😊 I popped by after work tonight and it still smells but it's not bad now.

WFH until the printer is moved. Even if the fumes weren't toxic (they are) you shouldn't be expected to work in an environment like that

If there was a significant amount of resin inside the printer (which I have to assume since you report strong smell), your boss is either a negligent asshole or somebody irresponsibly ignorant.

And if the printer was working and actively printing something inside an enclosed unventilated environment, then your boss can't be trusted with crayons or scissors.

Good call on working from home. Insist on doing that until that goddam thing is out of your office. “Soon” is WAY too vague.

Thanks for the update!

You can edit that into your post, if you'd like.
