Cuomo's office a 'toxic' work environment, people 'deathly afraid of him,' former aide says
Fox News ^ | December 6, 2020 | Evie Fordham

New York City politico Lindsey Boylan said on Twitter Saturday that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office was the "most toxic team environment" and that people were "deathly afraid of him."

"Most toxic team environment? Working for @NYGovCuomo," Boylan wrote. "I’ve had many jobs. Waitressing at Friendly's as a teenager was an infinitely more respectful environment. Even when I had bad customers who tipped poorly. ... If people weren’t deathly afraid of him, they’d be saying the same thing and you’d already know the stories."

Boylan, who describes herself as a progressive on her Twitter account, worked for the governor's administration from 2015 to 2018, according to her LinkedIn profile.

She worked for Empire State Development, the state's economic development public-benefit organization, until March 2018 when she became deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to Gov. Cuomo.

Boylan is one of many Democrats running for Manhattan Borough President in 2021. She also ran against Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., in New York's 10th Congressional District this year but lost by more than 40 points, according to Ballotpedia.

"Seriously, the messages and texts I receive when I speak the truth about this...it’s a whole book of people who have been harmed," Boylan continued on Saturday. "I tried to quit three times before it stuck. I’ve worked hard my whole life. Hustled - fake it till you make it style. That environment is beyond toxic. I’m still unwrapping it years later in therapy!"

Boylan also appeared to make a passing reference to discrimination within Cuomo's office.

"Don’t be surprised that it’s the same small group of white people sitting alongside him at every presser. The same group that he has had by him the whole time, doing his dirty work. If you’re not one of those handful, your life working for...

Andy’s an old line liberal similar to dad Mario, and very different from his “progressive” nutjob aides, for whom the tag “liberal” wasn’t far left enough:

I guess “progressive” sounds better than what they really are - communists.

I don’t believe in coincidences.

Is that why Mario never ran for POTUS? I’m talking thin skin. Dished it out at the 84’ convention against Reagan but couldn’t take it if he ran.

We’ve seen him abuse the press. Can only imagine how he treats employees.

His top aide Joseph Percoco was convicted of taking bribes. Cuomo’s administration is just as criminal as Obama’s.

I hate Cuomo. Vile individual and dumber than a rock. Makes Barbara Boxer look like an intellect.

But beyond vague generalities, this woman never gives any specifics as to why his office and working for him is a toxic work environment.

Probably some ex-employee sour grapes but what exactly was wrong with the place?

Usually you’re right but we have seen Cuomo abuse reporters. The press is generally favorable to him. So there’s no doubt that the work environment is hostile. I do not like to bring personal matters but in this case, I think it’s relevant. Notice he’s a divorced man? That’s a hint right there.

The total commie left is going to try to nudge Cueball out because he’s not soviet enough. The loons have a veto proof majority now in both state houses.

One of the loons stated that he wants to make the state more like California. LOL

We ain’t got the weather and the beaches here so the mass exodus will go into warp drive.

When you work for a Marxo-fascist psychopath, this what you get.
