Woman Sues Former Employer for $10M After Being Fired for Posting Capitol Pictures
When chaos erupted at the U.S. Capitol in January, there were many people who physically breached boundaries and engaged in violent and criminal behavior.
But there were also many others who simply visited the area, listened to some speeches, and went home.
In a new suit, a woman who was fired from her job after arriving home from her visit to the area that day says she falls into the latter group.
And she claims her employer is legally liable for terminating her employment soon after.
Long-Term Employee
Leah Snyder worked for 20 years as a computer programmer for Alight Solutions, which is based in Illinois. Snyder worked remotely from her home in California.
On the day of the Capitol riot, Snyder was on paid time off from work. She visited Washington, D.C., that day.
