> WeWork Will No Longer Let Employees Expense Any Kind of Meat
So is WeWork doing this to promote a better diet, and a more moral diet,
Or is WeWork doing this knowing most employees will not give up meat to reduce costs of business trips and if so, is this the start of businesses trying to shove more business expenses onto their employees?
Is this a massive intrusion into an employee's life, or the free speech right of an employer in a free market?
I uh, have been to therapy a number of times and thought it was a woo filled house of nonsense, driven by bias and agenda, and mostly these days, feminist agenda.
And what job is easier than being a therapist. No work output, no long term way to track progress. What a bullshit industry from a world that demands you recognize that you have problems (probably caused by your parents.)

Have we overestimated the effectiveness of psychotherapy?
By Christian Jarrett
Most people who undertake psychotherapy seem to benefit from it. How do we know? Arguably, the most important evidence comes from meta-analyses that combine the results from many – sometimes hundreds – of randomly controlled trials. Based on this, it’s been estimated that psychotherapy is effective for about 80 per cent of people (meanwhile, between five to 10 per cent of clients may suffer adverse effects).
But now the more concerning news: a team of researchers led by Evangelos Evangelou at the University of Ioannina, Greece has assessed the quality of 247 of these psychotherapy meta-analyses and they report in Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica that many of them have serious methodological short-comings.
Coincidentally, a separate research group led by Brent Roberts at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign has just published in Journal of Personality some of the first observational data on how people’s personalities change after undertaking psychotherapy. In contrast to what’s been found in the clinical literature, they report that people who’ve been in therapy seem to show negative changes in personality and other psychological outcomes.
In their “umbrella review” of the psychotherapy literature, Evangelou and his team chose to include published meta-analyses covering any form of psychotherapy and almost any kind of target mental health condition, but with the proviso that each meta-analysis had itself combined the results from a minimum of ten studies. Their comprehensive search resulted in 247 unique meta-analyses which collectively synthesised data from over five thousand randomly controlled trials.
Overall, 80 per cent of the published psychotherapy meta-analyses had reported a significant and positive benefit of whatever form of psychotherapy was their focus. This sounds impressive at first, but after applying “state-of-the-art” tests of their robustness, Evangelou and his colleagues report that just 16 of the 247 meta-analyses had provided “convincing evidence”.

It's about power, not rights. SJWs will eagerly insist that everyone should lose their jobs if a CEO has an opinion they don't like, or commits a faux pas.

On the WeWork thing, how many people submit itemized receipts for dinner as opposed to just the credit card slip? How are they going to prove the tostada combo or nachos supreme didnt have meat?
And why arent they banning sea food meat from the menu?
How long until someone sues them as they have a physiology that requires a high meat intake?
Quite frankly I find most vegans/vegetarians to be a bunch of holier than thou assholes preaching on about animal pain and the environment who dont really give a shit that the majority of their diet is only possible thru factory farming and terraforming that has destroyed entire ecosystems to grow their protein sources, 95% of which are not native to this continent
Oh did you think mung bean was native to Kansas?
Eating animals that eat vegetation unpalatable to humans is far more ethical than killing all the animals and bulldozing all the inedible plats to grow more wheat grass for your 'ethically sourced' smoothies
Fact is the money those guys paid for that one hunting licence will do more to feed Africans, support conservation, & fight poaching than the lifetime charitable contributions of any 500 of the people upset at that picture

-100 years or more. Imprisoning and even executing foreign intel is nothing new.
