In reply to the discussion: Former adviser to Gov. Andrew Cuomo alleges he sexually harassed her 'for years' [View all]Cha
(318,837 posts)70. Wow.. the Plot Thickens. TY, H NY!
Boylan abruptly resigned her state job following scrutiny of her own conduct in the workplace including allegations of harassment, according to personnel documents obtained by The Post.
According to an internal memo from September of that year, three black employees went to state human resources officials accusing Boylan, who is white, of being a bully who treats them like children.
Confronted with that and other workplace misconduct allegations including that she let her travel expenses pile up to the tune of $8,000 before reconciliation, and told a subordinate shed accept her resignation without consulting human resources in a subsequent sit-down with state honchos, Boylan voluntarily resigned her post, the documents indicate.
Days later, she had a change of heart and requested her job back, a third memo shows, but she ultimately moved on.

Nope. If this was about words only, and no charges were filed with police, this is baseless

Bizarre, non-specific "accusation". If that's the extent of the harassment, I can't tell you....
