For many industries, the type of work space this company leases has a major flaw. I received an announcement a while back from a former associate who started his own company. I was so impressed with him, but when I tracked down his address and saw that it was a WeWork site, his professional reputation declined sharply in my eyes.

In my industry, a WeWork address simply conveys a message of a third-rate, non-serious operation.

WeWork is nothing more than a glorified Regus mini suite operation. They do serve a purpose of either transition space or startup but, ultimately, a company should lease direct space from the landlord instead of paying the premium.

WeWork, Regus, HQ, etc., all lease space from landlords so a tenant is paying a huge increase for not much.

Yes, it's like when you ask them for an e-mail address and get "jsmith @aol.com." :)
