The photograph isn’t for security, it’s to send a notification to the person you’re visiting, they don’t have a problem with you choosing not to be photographed if you’re not comfortable with it. The notification includes your name and the picture because the wework member is expected to walk into the common area and find you, which is difficult if the wework member doesn’t know what you look like!
- pl0x 8y agowevisit is a fake account created 3 mins ago by wework to post positive comments on this thread.
- wevisit 8y agoI’m a wework member (who will happily talk shit about wework as I have done in another comment) who made an account because I’m on my phone without access to my main and I had useful information to share. If I was shilling for WeWork I wouldn’t name my account after the subject.
- jacquesm 8y agoThey're not 'wework members' they are representatives of your customers aka the tenants. Somehow this problem does not appear in all the other reception areas of all the other companies in the whole bloody world. So no, it is not for the person you're visiting. Besides that, there is no consent trail for the images to begin with nor is there any indication of where they get sent, stored and who has access to them. It's security theater at best and a security risk at worst. Besides that the access/egress system is so bad you might as well walk straight through without reporting your presence. WeSuck.
- edanm 8y agoJust to counterpoint, I've been to a few (not many, but not nothing) office buildings that photograph you to put your picture on an "ID badge" that you have to have on you. I have no idea if this photo stays archived anywhere, or is only used for printing.
