Cuomo staffers have stopped showing up to work as scandals mount

[NYP] - 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."

...At least five aides have announced their resignations in the past two weeks.

Cuomo on Friday denied any wrongdoing, while refusing to step aside and blaming "cancel culture" for the growing calls for his ouster.

Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi said Saturday the claims about a staff exodus are "greatly exaggerated."

"There’s a budget to be done in two weeks, the largest vaccination effort is state history to stand up and the continued efforts to successfully fight this once in a century pandemic and that’s what the hard working members of this administration and the state workforce are focused on — period," he said.
