McGruber writes: Information Technology Services Corporation Wipro's (http://www.wipro.com/) 600-employee call center in Chamblee, Georgia is in infected with bed bugs according to Atlanta television station 11 Alive (http://www.11alive.com/news/employees-say-theyre-forced-to-work-amid-bed-bug-infestation/451441739).
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.
