Heck. Except for the selfie, I did the same thing to Clinton...
As an employee of six months seniority, she was likely in some sort of “probationary period” where it is easier for her employer to fire. Not to worry, she’ll likely soon find another way in the DC metro area to feed off the government teat.
Better to dump her than to have her working on govt contracts and doing who knows what kind of mischief.
Good. Normal people have put up with discrimination for years. Remember the circus clown with the bammy mask? fired. Now it’s their turn to feel the heat and get fired for minor things.
As a government contractor, Akima LLC was concerned that the photo might hurt their ability to win government contracts…
Compare to the NFL that took zero actions with their "employees" who gave the nation the finger hurting their ability to win advertising contracts and attract customers.
Was she on the clock when she did this?
If not, I’m not a fan of her firing, despite what she did.
The First Amendment guarantees your right to express opinions on your free time. Would anyone here who said rude things about Obama want to be fired for doing so?
If Colin Kaepernick were protesting cops on his own time I’d have to loathe and defend him at the same time.
She feels better after her meaningless obscene gesture towards a car. Ahh, liberals, you are a shining example of bad losers. Hope you didn’t need that paycheck.
her employer is a “company that holds several government contracts, doing marketing and communications work”
They should offer their services to the NFL. They probably have a better understanding of “marketing and communications” than Goodell, and certainly a better understanding how employees can impact business.
Personally I don’t get giving the president or his motorcade the finger.
When bubba was in Sacramento during his tenure I waited in a group to see if his motorcade would stop to shake our hands. He did stop and even with my intense dislike for the man, it never entered my mind to give him the finger. I shook his hand and well, it was pretty cool that I got to shake a presidents hand.
MAGA.
The difference here is: The left was outraged when anyone flipped off Obama, and was okay with them being fired for disagreeing with him.
Here, they are okay with people flipping off Trump, and are outraged that they are getting fired for disagreeing with him.
They’ve gone 180.
Consequences to actions need to be reinstated to rule of law !
Total crap. No way she should be fired unless;
Wearing company uniform
On the clock

This is supposed to be a free country, freedom of speech and expression. This one looks like total overkill.
Virginia is an employment-at-will state; this means the employer may terminate any employee at any time, for any reason, or for no reason. As a general rule, therefore, the employee has no right to challenge the termination. There are a few very limited exceptions.

Na. I think most of the folks on the cycle lane were wearing bike shorts. HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Please remember to tip your waitress!
She was not fired for flipping the bird. She was fired for improper use of social media (per their code of conduct) by posting the pic of her doing it on her facebook page.
I’d flip off Obama if I had the chance. Even now.
