The biggest non-financial red flag for me was the glass office walls. None of WeWork’s non-corporate customers are doing anything remotely sensitive or important. During a downturn, these people will decide to go back to free Starbucks to hang out.

- effingwewt 7y agoI think that was OP's point, if they were doing anything sensitive they would at least require soundproof frosted glass rooms. On the other hand, I can't imagine anyone with sensitive information working out of a shared workspace just because ofbthe ease with which a room or whole floor could be bugged.

- kaitai 7y agoThe last WeWork I went into had a whole maze of frosted-glass areas in back. I was visiting a company doing some pretty fancy math with mortgage servicing rights, and they had some privacy.
