Appears to be like like someone at Metropolis Corridor took the boss’ demand method too actually: With Mayor Eric Adams in Israel on Monday, out to just about two dozen metropolis companies went an order to . . . put up on official social-media accounts a one-minute video showcasing municipal staff’ efforts to assist migrants apply for asylum.
Get it up it by 11 a.m. Tuesday, ran the order — and let the Mayor’s Workplace know the names of the employees who posted it and each platform you shared it on.
And beware, warned the directive: Failures can be famous.
Achtung, child.
What Hizzoner wished, he acquired — although how many individuals view each video on, say, the Correction Division’s X (ex-Twitter) account is one other query.
Fantastic: With a lawyer for Gov. Kathy Hochul slamming town’s work in serving to migrants get papers and state Lawyer Common Tish James probing a nonprofit employed to assist out, the mayor absolutely feels attacked on all sides.
However ham-handed efforts to make use of taxpayer assets for we’re-doing-a-great-job propaganda received’t do a lot good, particularly when the order inevitably leaks (first to Gothamist) and the video’s heat “everyone seems to be right here simply to assist these households” speak stands in stark distinction to Metropolis Corridor’s we’re taking names strategy to its personal workforce.
Extra voters will in all probability find yourself studying in regards to the order than viewing the video. Metropolis Corridor employees: Your job is to assist the mayor succeed, not mindlessly soar to embarrass him.
