IT Services Company Wipro Forces 600 Employees To Work In Bed Bug Infested Office (11alive.com)

McGruber writes: Information Technology Services CorporationWipro's 600-employee call center in Chamblee, Georgia is in infected with bed bugs according to Atlanta television station 11Alive. The facilities manager admits there is a bed bug problem and it's been an issue since late May. Employees told the tv station that the bugs are all over the three floors -- and they're biting. But employees are being told they still must go to work. Kwanita Holmes sent 11Alive photos of what she said is a bed bug bite on her arm: "We're at work 8 hours a day and we're getting munched on all day," she said. Wipro said it's paying for in-home bed bug consultations and treatments for employees.

    It was just a debugging training facility and all the bugs have been trained raised for that purpose.

    WiPro really are a bunch of blood-sucking parasites.

    They won't kill the bedbugs out of professional courtesy.
