My claim is not that WeWork has some economic advantage in how they distribute alcohol to workers, merely that they have a product that is appealing to 20-30 year olds, and companies want to (presumably) piggy back off it to hire top young talent. It’s the entire package, things like interior decoration, tech, locations, name brand, etc.
What’s that worth is debatable but I think it’s worth more than zero.

WeWork offers the polar opposite of this experience by design. A company that chooses to base itself in a WeWork is cutting itself off from talent. I think it’s worth more than zero. It’s also possible that it’s worth less than zero.
