Even if the courts determine it's a license, and not a lease (I don't think WeWork has been tested yet), RPAPL § 853 applies, and now RPAPL § 713 (7) would as well. (10 days notice)
Note WeWork usually gives you a designated, numbered, suite, which might confirm that it's a lease. In the above--
"One last “don’t” for a licensor looking to remain one in the eyes of the law: don’t designate a particular space for licensee’s exclusive use. "
