New York City Hall employees have been “demoralized” by Mayor Bill de Blasio.
According to the NY Post de Blasio refuses to listen to his staff.
His aides insist the Mayor is leading a bungled responses to what they argue are the biggest issues of our time: coronavirus and the George Floyd protests.
“A lot of the office is pretty demoralized,” a source said.
“Were it not for the fact that it’s hard to guarantee a paycheck right now, I think a lot more people would be headed for the exits.”
Dozens of the Mayors top aides and confidants have quit in disgust, including his press secretary and communications director.
The men are stepping down but not moving on to other jobs.
"His style has to be especially grating [to staffers]."
de Blasio is “especially bullheaded” and “convinced of his own best way to handle things.”
The Post reported this spring that de Blasio ignored the advice of health experts who work for him.
“People feel like they can’t do their jobs and can’t voice their opinions, even internally,” said a City Hall insider.
“He often perceives internal disagreements as potentially undermining or coming from people incapable of seeing the bigger picture.”
de Blasio has a notorious reputation in politics as hypocritical, thin-skinned, arrogant, ignorant, self aggrandizing, petty, two-faced, difficult, self righteous, and combative.
