This New York City based company has decided to ban meat for its employees. Bloomberg reports:
Co-working giant WeWork Cos. thinks it can save the environment quicker than Elon Musk.
The startup has told its 6,000 global staff that they will no longer be able to expense meals including meat, and that it won’t pay for any red meat, poultry or pork at WeWork events. In an email to employees this week outlining the new policy, co-founder Miguel McKelvey said the firm’s upcoming internal “Summer Camp” retreat would offer no meat options for attendees.
“New research indicates that avoiding meat is one of the biggest things an individual can do to reduce their personal environmental impact,” said McKelvey in the memo, “even more than switching to a hybrid car.”
Individuals requiring “medical or religious” allowances are being referred to the company’s policy team to discuss options. A WeWork spokeswoman confirmed the contents of the memo.
This is next level stupidity, even for liberals…
“Oh, well, it’s California” is a phrase that has for some time applied equally to New York. No wonder thousands are leaving the two states, daily.
Is there an acceptable vegetarian phrase for, “Boy, what a zoo!”?
I would not have worked there anyway. Stupid company.
