- Cuomo staffers have stopped showing up to work as scandals mount
-
If you knew the boss was engaged in prosecutable crimes, would you keep going into work?
This report indicates that question is being answered by many state government employees who have not been complicit in Governor Cuomo's multiple scandals:
Disillusioned staffers are abandoning embattled Gov. Cuomo, sources said.
"I hear that most people aren't even coming into work, and the offices at the Capitol are empty," said one well-placed insider in touch with staffers in recent days.
"He'll fight and fight and fight, but the staffers I've talked to are ready for him to hang up the gloves. Everyone feels like there is an inevitable conclusion — I mean at some point will Biden call on him to step down? They [staffers] just want this torture to stop."
Rebellion in the ranks deepened as Cuomo on Friday defiantly refused to step aside and blamed "cancel culture" for his downfall.
Nobody likes to be treated like they're idiots. But the real question is will the people of New York even notice they're not working?
