The marketing consultant "began to feel great anxiety and depression, which was especially aggravated by crowded roadways experienced during the heavy traffic of rush hour."
DeGerolamo took a medical leave of absence in August 2012 and when she returned to work in November, she asked to change her schedule so she could avoid rush hour, the Courier-Post reported.
The company honored DeGerolam's request by giving her a more clerical position. She was fired after objecting to the new position.
DeGerolamo's lawsuit is seeking unspecified financial damages.
