Little bit after the pandemic they forced us to go back to the office (also, in summer, in spain, to a office with broken AC)

I don't know what the relative humidity is like wherever in Spain you are, but if they had the windows open -- and I assume that they could open and did, if the AC was offline and people were in there in the summer -- and the humidity was low enough, could have thrown a portable evaporative cooler next to yourself. That can't get things as cold as a sufficiently-powerful air conditioner, but it's got a lot more punch than just a fan.

We did have the windows open, and the put some fans, but still was quite unbereable. Especially because of all the computers. We did have a lot of fights with the company for this, as spanish law dictates a maximum temp for a working space. Some days, when it was over 40ºC inside, it was like an oven (literally it was better to go outside below a tree or something), we ended up walking out of the office, fuck that shit.
