Re: Oh deary dear...
My parter works in hotels and use of WA is endemic (a combination of generally high staff turnover, no corporate phones and the expectation that Kids Today are permanently glued to their smartphones), and utterly full of highly confidential information. Heaven forfend anyone famous comes to stay because the chats are always full of stuff like "So And So is arriving on $date to start filming/singing/interviewing $media_thing, their PA has sent me this itinerary so you all know when things need to be ready for", and there's plenty of other highly personal snippets "Such And Such has put in some really weird requests for room service! I wonder if she's pregnant?", "ZOMG, Thingmabob in room 17 just asked the concierge if he knew of a good escort agency!".
The overwhelming majority of the staff are trustworthy and wouldn't dream of divulging any of this outside of work but are oblivious (and not trained) to the ramifications of this information being proxied via a not-necessarily-neutral third party. When I raise an eyebrow at any of this, I'm told it's completely normal and I'm always making things to complicated by moaning about it.
