Not completely useless, but yeah pretty much. Same goes for communal hallways in shared accommodation. Why would you think your bike is any more secure in a place where people you don't know well have access to it and could let a friend steal it?
I used to lock my bike in my room (behind a locked door) in the shared flat I had. Better safe than sorry. In terms of work, I wouldn't ride anything that I would be gutted to see stolen.
