The Washington Post newsroom has a cockroach problem,
according to the Washingtonian.
“We have a
growing pest problem,” wrote Jillian S. Jarrett, Post
director of newsroom operations, in an Aug. 14 memo to newsroom
staff. “We’ve gotten several reports of cockroaches in the newsroom.”
The
newsroom seems to be the epicenter of the bug issue. “Facilities says that this
is a newsroom problem and not happening on other floors,” Jarrett
wrote. Jarrett highlighted steps Post employees can take to help conquer the
pests, including clearing away all food and used dishes and properly cleaning
up after “cakings,” which is Post jargon for cake parties upon someone’s
departure, the Washingtonian said. “There are Clorox wipes
in the copy aide station,” the memo read.
The news
comes after recent revelations of bedbugs at The New York
Times. Following that news, Times columnist Bret Stephens took offense after a
tweet from George Washington
