I give it six months until they get sued by a Muslim employee. Culturally and religiously eating meat is pretty much required in Pakistan.

That is a weird comment.

I mean I am Indian and know plenty of Muslims. In fact some of them are my closest pals. I understand they eat meat regularly but I don't understand how eating meat regularly is required?

As a matter of fact, I have lived with 2 muslim guys for 4 years and I never felt like they feel the need to eat meat. All those years, they ate veg food (except when they visited their home).

From TFA:

> Individuals requiring "medical or religious" allowances are being referred to the company’s policy team to discuss options.

The article seems to suggest that religious needs etc would be met.

Does one have to prove membership, or can one just claim it, I wonder? Will they be asking to see tithing records?

And that’s how overnight, 2/3rds of WeWork employees became religious/Ill.
