US Government Sues Google Over Employee Reinstatement After Military Leave
The US government has sued Google, alleging the company failed to reinstate Mark Davisson, a US Army Reserve lieutenant colonel, to his previous or equivalent role after returning from a year of military leave in May 2023. The lawsuit claims Google retained his pay and title but denied him customer account management duties, limiting career advancement. Davisson was later reassigned and then dismissed in a workforce reduction. The case cites protections under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
