I found out through co-workers that there is a bed bug infestation at our call center after i was bit by one while on duty. When I went to HR they confirmed the infestation and stated that they have been spraying chemicals bi-weekly to rid the office of them. I am 5 months pregnant and was never notified of the infestation or the bi-weekly sprayings. I discovered soon after that my home was actually infested, and since the infestation has been present since 2008 its no doubt I brought the bug home from work. HR has no sympathy or compassion about letting the new employees train blindly amongst these bugs. And they will only pay for the extermination BUT not your infested furniture that you have to throw away or risk getting the bugs again. So now being five months pregnant I have to not only work at a contaminated office I also have to come home to the same thing. Not to mention I'm completely exhausted since I stay up all night scared of the bugs biting on me and cant get any good rest anywhere in my house since my mother, sister and brothers rooms are infested as well as our living room!!! This is HELL!!! Im so angry at TIME WARNER CABLE and I want them to warn all the new employees such as myself (only been there 5 months) of the ongoing infestation. At least give us a choice if we want to work for a company that houses bloodsuckers!!!
