> The outlet reports that in a speech Neumann gave to employees in January of this year, footage of which it says it has viewed, Neumann is seen saying that WeWork isn’t “just controlled — we’re generationally controlled.”
Maybe Business Insider (who first reported this, but for their premium paywall offering) has some info, but I’m really curious to hear how WeWork employees, including mid level managers and executives, took this proclamation? I’m assuming some of WeWork’s workforce has some regard for the concept of meritocracy. Hearing your CEO declare that he foresees WeWork to be controlled by his bloodline for the next 300 years would seem to be off putting.

Unless you're that deep into the cult that you actually believe in him being the prophet and you're calmed by the thought that his eternal consciousness will stand watch and defend the company from outside influence.
