One thing I always wondered, speaking of etiquette was how security was handled. You get up to go bathroom, get coffee, even leave for lunch. Do you have to secure valuables? Do each desk have a locker?

If I remember correctly we had monitors secured to our desks (we had permanent desks in the open space). Laptops we took home. During lunch etc. they were left on the desk. Generally there are lots of people around you who see you everyday and would recognise someone they haven't seen approaching your space. I believe there are lockers available too but I've never used those.

I have worked in their offices all over the world for years. I generally leave my laptop and bag through the day and when I go for lunch. I've never had an issue or even heard of any criminal incidents in a WeWork. They have reasonable security, everyone should be a known member, and there are lots of cameras everywhere.

Many people who work there will also have their own lockable offices.
