Two dozen key staffers have fled state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s office in the past two years, with most decrying “a lack of leadership,” former employees claim.
Most of the lawyers and high-ranking operatives took less prestigious jobs.
One ex-employee called the agency “rudderless.”
“The reality was there wasn’t a lot of follow- through. There wasn’t any clear mandate. It just feels like there’s this leadership vacuum,” said the source.
AG spokesman Damien LaVera said: “Anyone who has watched this office over the last four years can see that Attorney General Schneiderman has a strong record of accomplishments.”
One who left is William Schaefer, who led the Public Integrity Bureau and is now working for the Brooklyn DA.
