A receptionist at a leading US law firm is suing her former-employer after she claims she had no choice but to wet herself.
Rebecca Landrith manned the desk at Littler Mendelson, a leading employment law firm. According to the Washington Business Journal, she claims that there was no other receptionist and that the firm had no "consistent policy or procedure as to when or how Landrith could take a restroom break". So, naturally enough, Landrith simply pissed herself. Twice.
Landrith says that the firm fired her after she complained. Cynics might comment that it's hard to justify continued employment for anyone who thinks that sitting in their own wee all day is preferable to leaving reception unmanned for two minutes. But then that's cynics for you.
Landrith is after $1.59million. The claim coincides with Littler Mendelson being named as one of the 50 Best Law Firms for Women.
