Lawsuit of the Day: Bathroom Breaks Receptionist
According to the July 27 lawsuit the receptionist filed -- on her own behalf -- against her old firm, Littler provided no back-up or substitute receptionist, and "had no consistent policy or procedure as to when or how Landrith could take a restroom break."
Apparently, the receptionist was so bereft of bathroom breaks that she -- on multiple occasions -- pissed herself. Literally:
On two separate occasions, Landrith claims, she had to "wet her pants" at the reception desk because nobody would, well, relieve her.
Eww. Just yuck, man. Was there a physical chain attaching her to her desk? If not, there is simply no excuse. Can you imagine walking into a place of business, and the first person you see -- and smell -- is a woman covered in her own urine? Did she at least have some hand sanitizer on her desk!!!??? If I wanted to deal with that kind of stuff, I'd take the subway.
So, how much does Landrith want Littler to pay for her own incontinence?
