There's something rotten going on at AT&T--and it's not just that whole iPhone/SlingPlayer debacle. Yesterday at the company's office in downtown San Jose, an employee took it upon herself to clean a refrigerator that had been moved into one of the office's conference rooms. The stench from the rotten food in the fridge was so pungent that seven employees ended up in the hospital, and all 325 people in the building were evacuated.
"It caused some to vomit, some to just get nauseous. And it, for us, activated a hazardous incident," local fire department captain, Barry Stallard, told the local CNN affiliate.
The fridge has been unplugged and moved to the conference room for cleaning. Matters were apparently made worse when someone sprayed the air with what turned out to be spot cleaner.
The woman who actually cleaned the fridge didn't notice the smell; she had recently undergone nasal surgery for severe allergies.
