from the that-bites! dept.

Wipro has a 600-employee call center in Chamblee, Georgia that is infected with bed bugs according to Atlanta, Georgia television station 11 Alive.

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.

What are the worst conditions you've had to work in?

    Or they just ask if the fines, suing etc are larger than the profit of squeezing the last drop out of the employees. Profit as priority one.
