A comment on How Adam Neumann’s Over-the-Top Style Built WeWork.

On the off chance that some WeWorkers are reading this. My #1 request is for 24/7 hot desk availability. The 9am-6pm hours aren't working for me. Something like one credit per six hour block would be ideal. Often I don't even get started on deep work until after five o'clock ;)

I love the culture. And anecdotally at least, the method clearly attracts talented designers and developers outside the pale. Concentrating creative folks together. Fomenting spontaneous frissons at the various bagel breakfasts. Or around the tap at quitting time. I find it a welcome antidote to pre-packaged and polished corporatism ;)

On the off-chance that some WeWorkers are reading this, the only way I could be persuaded to share a space with someone who foments spontaneous frissons at bagel breakfasts is if you also supply high-powered Nerf guns.

Is literally WeWork's business proposition to customers.

Might have something to do with the fact that you can get 1-year of WeWork included as part of the American Express Business Platinum card right now ($595 annual fee).

Would love to see the cost share agreement on that one.
