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?

For office jobs, it can be worse: you could be required to work in a building with a serious mold problem. People have gotten seriously sick and died from this.
I haven't read TFA, but honestly I'm not sure how bedbugs can be such a problem in an office. Are they sure these are bedbugs? Bedbugs normally stay hidden during the day, and come out at night, seeking hosts by the CO2 exhaled by humans.
