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

Posted by BeauHD on from the pest-control dept.

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.

    60C (140F) for 8 hours is massive overkill.

    Massive overkill is exactly the right amount of overkill for bedbugs.

    You misunderstood the intent of my post.

    If Wipro, a company that forces its employees to work in a bugbed infested building, is typical of the companies being harmed by Trump's policies, then I'm all for the policies that are harming these companies!
