WeWork is getting rid of free beer. How are WeWorkers taking it?

Here’s one clue that things are getting less rowdy at the troubled coworking startup WeWork: The company is phasing out free beer and wine at its North American locations. In 2018, a former employee sued WeWork, alleging that she’d been fired for reporting sexual assaults at two company events, and that her assailants had been too drunk from the free beer to remember the incidents. Also, I’m an editor so I work a later shift: I start at 1 p.m. Weirdly, they have these beer kegs, but they lock them at around 5, at least at our WeWork. But it just seems like everything is like the beer: It’s a perk, but it’s not really adding anything.
