I use WeWork credits to rent &#8220;hot desk&#8221; in NYC from time to time, each credit (~25$ value) can get me one desk for one day. I&#8217;ve been leveraging the flexibility to go to different WeWork places based on my schedule. It&#8217;s interesting to notice WeWork places vary quite a bit. Some have larger open-floor areas, nicer decoration, or more open layout. One &#8220;indicator&#8221; I use is to check if there is fresh milk besides coffee machine: most places have that, but some don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, some places are busier than others. If it becomes difficult to find a phone booth, I consider that place over-crowded. It depends on weekdays, too.

Do strangers get to know each other and social in WeWork? Based on my observation, not much&#8230; people are more in work mode in WeWork, and most wear headphones in open spaces. So it&#8217;s not really a social scene. There are sofas for people to talk, but as I see, mostly for co-workers or people who already know each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WeWork is booming.
