I can't believe coworking got off the ground as a viable industry to begin with, TBH

How many animals are killed growing all that soy? It's gotta be an absolute bloodbath.

Ignorance is bliss I guess.

What they are really hiding is how much MONEY this policy will save and putting up a fake front about bullshite activism.

Why would they discriminate against my plant based diet? I eat animals that eat the plants.

Short term, sure. I don't see a policy like that being able to be sustainable with any type of competitive market.

Isn’t your chief culture officer being white some type of cultural appropriation?

If they were really serious, they would stop serving office space to customers who use meat / meat products.

Otherwise, they are just a joke.

I saw this shite... If you don't eat meat, that's great. I don't care, you can do what you want...

With that said, I don't know about anyone else, but if I go so long without eating meat, I don't feel right, like I am lacking something. And I would think that what this company is doing is discrimination, but I wouldn't want to work for a place that does this stupid shite so I would quit then tell them there is a food chain for a fricking reason. Then go get a big ole steak, chicken and pork burrito.

it will no longer reimburse employees for meals that include red meat, poultry, or pork


Like on trips? My arse would be ordering the most cryptically named shite. How the hell would they enforce this anyway?

Most restaurant receipts are written in acronyms and/or named simple things that don't actually describe what's in it.

Or I'd be ordering $100 seafood towers.

Internal audit people are mostly dorks who thoroughly enjoy busting people within their company.
