In the article one of the employees is speculating on whether Rivian would pay to have their personal belongings fumigated if they took bedbugs home.

Itā€™s just as likely that an employee carried the bugs in - should the employee have to pay for Rivianā€˜s fumigation of the equipment? :giggle:

Peopleā€¦..

Anybody ever take "public transportation"? Bedbugs, scabies, lice, feces, urine and any other drippings that come off of the transient frequent fliers in Los Angeles are inside the buses and subway cars.

This is a non story and unbelievable that someone calls this news. Bedbugs don't naturally flock to forklifts, so maybe Rivian should offer showers to the operators.

If it gets people ahead of me to cancel, I will drop off some bed bugs at their plant should they need some more to get the job done!!
Everyone in front of me - do you want to bring bed bugs home?!?!?

You are right.... this is just another of the weekly assaults on Rivian from the malcontents of this world. Next weeks headline.. "Rivians refuses to give employees 2 ply toilet paper.. causing shlt stains on new vehicle seats."

Never quoted myself before... but after thinking about it for a second, I concluded this is only a problem if you are still waiting for Ocean Coast interior.

Did you hear about the new color in 2023? It's called Rivian Brown.
