As New York City prepares for a mayoral transition, members of outgoing Mayor Eric Adams’ administration expressed disappointment over how Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s team has handled the upcoming departure of nearly 180 City Hall staffers.
Last Tuesday, the Mamdani transition team notified deputy mayors that they would be sending lists of 179 employees who would not have jobs in the new administration. Later that day, each deputy mayor received the names of staff members who were to be told they were “terminated effective Jan. 1,” according to a senior Adams administration official who spoke to amNewYork.
