A former employee has sued Xfinity/Comcast, alleging that managers at an Xfinity retail store in Plainville, Connecticut, subjected underperforming sales employees to humiliating workplace punishments, including tying them to a chair and smashing cream pies into their faces. Comcast denies the allegations and says it will fight the claims in court.
According to CT Insider, David Figueroa, a Meriden resident who worked at the Plainville Xfinity store for less than a month in February 2026, filed the lawsuit in Connecticut Superior Court on July 9, 2026. The complaint seeks damages exceeding $15,000. It alleges the company created and tolerated a hostile work environment designed to pressure employees to meet sales goals and customer survey metrics.
