Cuomo staffers dispute claim they ‘volunteered’ to work on his book: report

NYP-

Aides to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo are pushing back against his administration’s claim that they “volunteered” to help with his pandemic memoir, it was revealed Thursday.

Several current and former Cuomo staffers told the Times-Union that their work on the best-selling book was “expected” — despite not being official government work.

“It was not optional,” said one former aide, who was among those asked to perform tasks related to Cuomo’s tome.

“It was considered a part of your job,” the person added. “Everyone knew that you did what was asked of you and opting-out was never really an option.”

The ex-staffer, who wasn’t named, added that there was a “clear expectation that we would do political work to help with his campaign and run the governor’s personal errands in the Executive Chamber.” read more

  2. I read where NASA employees are being asked to volunteer to help illegals at the border. I’m beginning to think that “volunteer” means something very different in totalitarian operations.

    Yep, sounds like the military, where you are “volun-told”.
