Gov’t Employees in San Francisco Told to Work From Home as City’s Crime Wave Continues
Employees at the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building in the heart of San Francisco have been told to work from home “for the foreseeable future” as crime continues to rise in the city.
According to a memo obtained by the San Fransisco Chronicle, Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Secretary for Administration Cheryl Campbell is strongly encouraging employees at the San Francisco Federal Building, who have not yet chosen the remote work option, to seriously consider it.
“In light of the conditions at the (Federal Building) we recommend employees … maximize the use of telework for the foreseeable future,” Campbell wrote in the memo.
The Nancy Pelosi Federal Building, located in the downtown area of San Francisco, serves as a federal office space for multiple agencies. The building houses an office for its namesake, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, in addition to providing office spaces for local branches of government agencies, such as the Department of Labor and the Department of Transportation.
The recommendation for employees to work remotely comes one day after San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins publicly criticized the city’s local courts and judges. In a town hall meeting, Jenkins condemned the courts and blamed their soft-on-crime decisions as a reason for the city’s rising drug problem.
“Repeat and chronic offenders are selling the most deadly substance we’ve seen in this city. That tells you something about what has been going on in the courtrooms of this city,” said San Francisco District Attorney Jenkins at the town hall meeting. “The judges are not taking this seriously. The judges are ignoring it.”
It seems to be a common trend that every liberal stronghold in America is overrun with crime, drug abuse, and homelessness. Hopefully, the employees of the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building understand that the issues requiring them to work from home are the same that millions of city residents are forced to deal with daily.
