WeWork isn’t a tech company; it’s a soap opera

Fair enough. Although I'm familiar with quite a few situations where most people just use a single network for wireless (whether employees or guests) and confidential company resources are put behind SSO and/or VPN using 2FA.

Others do have separate networks of course and maybe that makes sense in the case of something like WeWork that probably has more people who aren't employees/paying customers coming in and out and getting on the network than the typical company office does.

I think the problem is that providing internet access is part of WeWork's core product. It doesn't matter if your accountant's office just has one shitty wifi connection for everyone -- you'd still go visit them even if they didn't have wifi. But literally the entire point of WeWork is renting space to work, with internet. They should be held to a higher standard in this regard, IMO.
