Does WeWork still exist?
- arcticbull 4y agoWeWork's all-access hot desking plan is great, couple hundred bucks a month and you can work from any WeWork anywhere in the world. You can drink half that back in cold brew if you just used it as a coffee shop subscription. Terrible business though.
- acchow 4y agoWeWork has cold brew coffee? What beans do they use?
- woodruffw 4y agoMine has this "nitro" cold brew[1] on tap. [1]: https://commonwealthjoe.com/ https://commonwealthjoe.com/
- ineedasername 4y ago>What beans do they use? Coffee beans
- fortysixdegrees 4y agoRoastedd coffee beans, actually
- paulcole 4y agoThe one I go to (Portland, OR) used to have Stumptown on tap (that was awesome). But since WeWork went public, they’ve been getting contracts with some SysCo-esque food provider for cold brew/kombucha/seltzer. I forget the name of it but the cold brew is OK, not great but definitely not terrible.
- andirk 4y agoIt also has other people's beer in the fridge.
- mikestew 4y ago‘‘Twas my first thought as well: “After all that drama, I just assumed they went under.”

- woodruffw 4y agoI'm typing this message from a WeWork, so yes. But past and current performance is not a guarantee of future performance :-)
- mixedmath 4y agoHow do you like working from a WeWork? Do you find that there is any community there, or is it just a nice place that isn't your home to work?
- woodruffw 4y agoJust to clarify: I have a full office in a WeWork, and I've worked in the same office (along with some of my colleagues) for over 4 years. So I (and the company I work for) might not be the "typical" WeWork customer story. As far as workplaces go, it's perfectly fine: the office itself is nicely designed and has reasonable (but not especially fancy) amenities. I haven't really engaged in the community, although there seems to be a somewhat active one. I know other people who have, including going to parties and social events that were organized by WeWork (I have no idea if these are as common anymore, but they seemed to be happening a lot in 2018-19).
- bombcar 4y agoWe've done something similar, WeWork is "expensive for an office" if you've never paid commercial real estate prices before. Compared to an actual lease it can be quite competitive, especially as you only have to 'pay' for the office itself but get all the other "shared perks".
- CSMastermind 4y agoAs someone with a distributed team, I try to visit each of my engineers in person at least once every 6 months. Being able to pick up a WeWork for us to work out of when I'm in town is really nice.
- dpflan 4y agoIs it a yearly membership to support 2 meetings per year?
- caterama 4y agoWe use WeWork On Demand for this. No recurring membership fees, just pay as you go. It's okay -- $30 to $50 / day to use the common rooms and amenities. Much better than ... a library / coffee shop / hotel room. Their guest policy could be better though! You essentially cannot have guests with the On Demand membership -- just go to a coffee shop for that.
- EGreg 4y agoWhat about Croissant? Just a marketplace to rent on demand. Like AirBNB for office space
- CSMastermind 4y agoNever heard of it, I'll check it out.
- jdmark 4y agoYour public library and locally owned coffee shop offers the same benefits for free.
- giobox 4y agoI'm sure my "locally owned coffee shop" is going to just love it next time I use an overhead projector or a 42 inch TV to present a deck to the team.
