Yes, I understand that. I'm going further and saying that anyone working here should expect to lose their spot for any reason or no reason on a monthly --- meaning, effectively, instantaneous --- basis.

I have a lot of negative things to say about WeWork as a business, and some netting-out-positive things to say about the particular West Loop WeWork space I'm working out of right now. But most of all: I'm here with my eyes open. There's also the concern of "is WeWork even going to exist in 6 months"?

Not even monthly they were given 30 minutes to vacate.

Got it - apologies for misunderstanding you. I thought you were suggesting the opposite (I.e. that there is nothing to violate because of the lack of a long-term lease). :)
