Hundreds of government employees in San Francisco told to work from home due to the high levels of crime in the area, report says

Some government staff in San Francisco have been told to work remotely, a report says.

Department of Health and Human Services staff were asked to work from home due to local crime.

The city has been battling a dr-g epidemic and a homelessness crisis in recent years.

Hundreds of employees at the Department of Health and Human Services in San Francisco have been told to work from home due to the high level of crime in the area around its office, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. 

The department recommended that employees worked remotely "for the foreseeable future," the report says, citing an August 4 memo sent to staff, a copy of which the Chronicle said it had obtained. 

The advice was given to workers "in light of the conditions at the (Federal Building)," Cheryl R. Campbell, assistant secretary for administration at the department, said, per the report.

The Federal Building is located at 90 7th Street in San Francisco, which is known to be a dr-g hotspot, with dealers often peddling dr-gs near or across the street from the building, the Chronicle reported.

Two men were charged in May on suspicion of carrying out dr-g deals in full view of surveillance cameras from the Federal Building, per a June press release from the US attorney's office.

San Francisco has been battling a dr-g epidemic and a homelessness crisis in recent years.

The California governor's office said in June that in just six weeks the California Highway Patrol had seized more than four kilos of fentanyl in the Tenderloin and the "immediate surrounding area" of San Francisco.

It claimed that this was "enough to ki-l" the city's entire population nearly three times over.

Elon Musk has also spoken out about crime in the city, where his company X, formerly known as Twitter, is headquartered.

"Violent crime in SF is horrific," Musk said in a tweet in April.

Following the fatal stabbing of Cash App creator Bob Lee, many also labeled San Francisco a "lawless" place to live.

The US Department of Health and Human Services didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.

FRTO!

I think the downtown crime that is out of control is a legitimate reason to WFH.

I know multiple people who have had their cars broken into parking in a lot in uptown Charlotte. Not everyone can afford to put their car in a gated garage. It companies are all about rto, how about moving offices into the suburbs. No one wants to go uptown anymore nor feels safe there.

the federal building in SF is in a bad part of town. the WF locations are in much better part of town and in most cases just outside bart station. For those at 420 it's just a few minutes walk from Bart, don't have to go to the tenderloin or mid market at all.

I worked at the Wachovia, Wells Fargo and Bank of America Charlotte, NC city offices for many years. On a daily basis I was confronted with panhandlers and people asking me for money. You could not stand still there in the city of Charlotte, NC without someone approaching you to beg for money. One begger told me that he was a convicted felon. He approached me for money on the sidewalk of one of the Wells Fargo Charlotte, NC city buildings. I was told by other Charlotte NC city workers that while waiting for the bus at a bus stop they had to encounter many panhandlers. The city of Charlotte, NC needs to do more about the safety of it's city workers. I was in fear each day working in the city of Charlotte, NC. Now I have a job working 100% remote and it is a great relief.

Wells Fargo buildings are nowhere near that area. Sorry if RTO cuts into your video game time, but that argument just makes you look stupid. Oh, wait…..

WFA in St. Louis is not great either, though not as bad as the Tenderloin in SF. We are just blocks away from a terrible neighborhood. An employee was robbed at gunpoint several years back. Cars have been stolen off our lots. We used to have guards at the entrance to every parking lot overseeing things. but Wells Fargo’s bean counters couldn’t wait to take that away.

I see the WF spin people are back out today. I hope they are paid well to push the company talking points.

Yes there's a spelling mistake but that doesn't detract from the message. Yes there is crime in other locations but when it's gotten so bad the government is telling it's staff it is too dangerous that should be a huge red flag.

I agree that we should as a whole be worried about the criminals Charlie and the board but it won't matter if I'm mugged, as--ulted or mu---red on my way to or from work.

The thieves we all need to be concerned with are Charlie Scharf and the BOD, not some random homeless man on the street. Charlie and the BOD are the ones who have their hands in your back pocket every day wanting to rob you of your income, your job stability, your benefits and your ethics.

Do you work in the Federal Building or near this area? No, you don't.

All cities have bad areas. Wells Fargo buildings aren't near Tenderloin
