I work with the city as a contractor and it was a nightmare to get anyone on the phone. Now I’d be better off using a ouija board. We are going to lose a lot of talent if we can’t work with the city and the recipients continue to suffer. This is not attractive to out of state businesses and NYC has historically been difficult to deal with in many areas. It’s really sad. But we did get marijuana and a response method to mental health issues at least. He’s 1/4 the way though his term here, let’s go. Do something

That was a state law, the Mayor had nothing to do with that.

We didn't get that. He announced it a few days ago with absolutely no staffing or budget to make it happen. It's also likely illegal and will be tossed anyway. His intent was to make a big new splash for the holiday tourist season, that isn't a real policy.

There are no city offices working from home. It's not allowed. There is a miniscule amount of people granted medical WFH exemptions, but that's a blip. Whoever told you that was full of it.

They aren't. There is no city office allowing work from home. That is absolutely false. Unless they have a building emergency like bed bugs (lol that happens a lot) and they shut it down for a week while they fumigate. Or unless he's referring to offices that aren't city workers (like comptroller, borough president, state offices, etc.)
