My friend’s entire company is locked out of their WeWork office because an umbrella fell, jamming the door.
No one can figure it out. It’s been like this for 2 days.

The number of people who have said they should just break the glass today is astonishing.
There’s nothing important in there. Its 2019. Computers are portable now. Work just moved to a different office.
No one is going to smash a pane of glass if they can avoid it.

Let’s address some common suggestions:
Take the door off: it comes off from the inside
Go through the drop ceiling: there is no drop ceiling
Slip something through the crack: there is no crack
Use a magnet: the umbrella is non-ferrous. I just tested it with a magnet
