IRS worker quits after rats apparently start running the office

  • An Internal Revenue Service employee, Sydney Monger, resigned from her position at the Chamblee Tucker Road facility in Georgia due to a severe rodent infestation.
  • Monger reported that conditions rapidly deteriorated after Memorial Day weekend, with rodents becoming widespread and employees sitting on desks to avoid the floor.
  • Visual evidence shared by Monger showed dead rodents, droppings, and numerous traps, which she claimed were ineffective against the rodents' size.
  • Some employees reportedly fell ill due to the unsanitary conditions, prompting Monger's departure over health concerns for her family.
  • The IRS acknowledged receiving multiple internal complaints and stated that management is addressing the issue at the aging facility and working to remediate the situation.
