Of course, the average office desk worker carries nuclear codes in their back pocket and communicate with each other using furtive glances and discreet hand signals. It is totally unpardonable that a mass-market hipster coworking space did not consider them when designing their spaces. /s

Maybe not nuclear codes, but plenty of fairly mundane things like client calls subject to a NDA.

Quite the opposite! If WeWork doesn’t offer conference rooms with any smidgeon of privacy, then that’s simply not something that’s offered anywhere else. This fact is the basis of why your original question was a good one: Why would anyone stop paying WeWork?

Perhaps given the lack of privacy in any conference rooms anywhere, GP simply retired from professional life altogether. This may be the only compelling possible reason to stop paying WeWork for their service of providing some but not all of their basic business needs.
