Sounds great! Carnivores stress the environment more so they should pay extra!

Businesses wouldn't have to subsidize normal food if the government didn't subsidize industrial meat farming.

If you don't like it blame the government for distorting the market. No, blame the progressive employer who is giving healthy food and jobs.

I feel like all the vegan posting lately is some deep level marketing to keep people from wanting to be vegan by making all these posts as constant and foreign as possible. The posting style is so off and obtuse, it's clear many of them aren't from here.

> All the Problems With WeWork’s Tyrannical New “No Meat” Policy

https://slate.com/business/2018/07/all-the-problems-with-weworks-no-meat-policy.html

Is it possible to eat vegetarian in Warsaw or Chengdu? Of course it is. Vegetarians have traveled the world happily for decades, and they can always somehow find a way. On the other hand, what happens if you’re representing a multibillion-dollar international real-estate giant, and you’re looking to expand your footprint in those cities by taking some of the biggest and richest landlords out for a swanky dinner? Obviously, you want to let them order what they want from the menu, and you want to pick up the check. But then you run into your employer’s draconian new meal policy.

WeWork’s 6,000 employees around the globe have now been told that they will no longer be able to expense meals including meat, in a move that will certainly reduce T&E expenses for the fast-growing company but that will also cause a ridiculous amount of agita for its frontline staffers and, especially, the benighted HR folks tasked with enforcing the policy.

The company isn’t simply turning itself into a group of restaurant cops, either: It’s also banning meat (but not fish) from all corporate events on the grounds.

>>10927447

> WeWork's "vegetarian policy" is also wildly inconsistent

Instead, however, WeWork has created a system whereby, as a WeWork employee, I need to start worrying if I take a client out to lunch and she orders the Brussels sprouts. (After all, any decent chef will tell you that the easiest and most effective way to make Brussels sprouts delicious is to throw some bacon fat in there.)

Internally, WeWork’s policy is pretty incoherent: It bans lamb, for instance, and it bans chicken, but it doesn’t ban eggs. Eggs cause just as much environmental damage as chickens do, and much less than lamb does. It’s hard to see much environmental logic in a policy that’s fine with factory-farmed salmon but that forbids people from eating pigeon.

>>10927433
>"Why can't these poor niggers just shop for organics at Whole Foods like I do? It's so simple!"

They can, using their smartphones.
And before you bitch about money, whole foods accepts EBT, not to mention the fact that even expensive hipster groceries are less costly than shit from the convenience store.

>>10927447

> WeWorks' billionaire owner loves enforcing his will on his employees

It’s arrogant paternalism of the highest order for a billionaire American co-founder, one whose own personal carbon footprint is surely in the top 0.1 percent of global citizens, to impose his own preferred environmental solution on thousands of employees who were probably doing much better than he was, on that front, all along. (McKelvey is building a multimillion-dollar mountaintop house in Utah.)

WeWork’s policy, then, is not really about environmental impact: There would be much easier and much more effective ways of reducing the company’s carbon footprint. And while the policy will surely save a certain amount of money, I doubt that’s the driving motivation either. Instead, this is a perfect case study in virtue signaling. Call it performative vegetarianism: This is a policy that will gain McKelvey plaudits and social status among the woke billionaires of Powder Mountain, at the cost of massive HR headaches and generalized employee resentment in the kind of places he doesn’t particularly care about.

You misunderstand. I wasn't making the implication you claim, I was preempting the expected replies by making the joke before anyone else did.

I'm also not a vegan.

>>10927455
No it's not fucking cheaper than shit at a convenience store. Stop fucking lying about shit that literally anyone can verify and refute themselves.

Nonsense.
I just got back from one. Dude in front of me bought a jumbo can of red bull, a bag of jerky, and a bag of skittles. All that cost just over $10. For that I could buy some fresh veggies, a potato to make fries from, and a decent size steak at whole foods.

Nearly everything at a convenience store is a huge ripoff. Look at the price per unit weight. Nearly everything costs more than even fucking prime grade meat.

>>10927514
So you are just pretending to be retarded.

For the unaware, WeWork is a coworking space where companies too small to afford their own offices can rent private offices.
I work at one in New York and it's pretty heavy on the trendy stuff. We have two free rotating beer taps in the kitchen and the fridge is always stocked with 2%, almond, and soy milk. Every other thursday somehow a full open bar appears in the common area at 5 to promote intermingling between the companies, and there are always these random networking events and meditation seminars that I don't think anyone goes to.
In any case, I agree with >>10927478 that it's definitely virtue signalling and it's honestly a pretty weird way to go about it, especially if you're trying to expand overseas like another anon mentioned.
They haven't gotten rid of the 2% milk as of yet anyway, doubt they ever will.

>>10927675
> free market

I don't think you understand what you're trying to insinuate.

>>10927699

I can see why a business might wan to look "cool" in front of their trendy hipster clientelle, but that's only maybe 1/2 of their customers.

Also, hipster trends come and go like the wind. Tying your corporate governance to what's trendy in pop culture is pure fucking retarded business decision making.

>>10927417
Eating vegan is cheap as fuck lmao

>>10927715
vegetarianism isn't really a trend or a fad...it's just that it's been getting more attention in the last few years, primarily due to environmental impact studies of CAFO red meat

Food choices YOU make actually have an impact on the world

I live in a college town and the local convenience store is the biggest ripoff I've ever seen. Off the top of my head, its like 4 bucks for a loaf of bread or half a gallon of milk

>>10927754
>he lives in a college town

>>10927763
I doubt it. Every place that I've worked at has specific policies for what you can or cannot expense. Usually there is a dollar limit. Sometimes others--i.e. I worked for a state University for a while and their rules prohibited you from expensing tips and alcohol.

>>10927715

This. Other poster was right, just some rich billionaire imposing his will on his employees while virtue signaling.

>>10927790
>their rules prohibited you from expensing tips

yeah, that's pretty fucking cheap

>>10927386
>Sounds great! Carnivores stress the environment more so they should pay extra!

This is a great idea! Blacks should pay more taxes because they use more welfare and commit more cries. That seems fair.

>>10927398
I mean, yeah. Insofar as discrimination can be defined as "the act of making or perceiving a difference" (Merriam-Webster), most forms of discrimination are helpful. Discriminating between fresh and rotting meat is a good skill to have, for instance.

>>10928146
Eating meat is a choice. Being black is not a choice.

>>10927375
It's called the free market you retarded commie niggers, it goes both ways

>>10928124
>yeah, that's pretty fucking cheap
State law.

thankfully it was very easy to get around. I used my credit card and sent in my bill statements instead of the itemized receipts. The daily dollar limit still applied, of course, but I did get reimbursed for tips and booze.

>>10928339

I would have rolled with it and just told the fucking waiters my company didn't allow me to tip. Fuck the company, and fuck waiters. win win.

Used to work for WeWork, miguel McKelvey is definitely one of those "do as I say, not as I do" types of leaders. Pretty sure he's sleeping with employees also, but that's another story.

>>10927375
>only allows vegan and vegetarian lunches to be expensed
So it's a company provided meal. Why complain about free food?

>>10927675
>free market

It's a free market. I own the company. I can choose not to hire niggers or women if I want!

>>10928634
>I've never had to expense anything
If it was company provided up front you wouldn't need to submit a request for reimbursement, which is what expensing involves.

>>10927451
Vegetarian and vegan are not the same, and eggs don't count as meat. Environmental waste isn't the only concern; animal suffering is as well. Even if egg production contributes to waste and a lot of farms raise their egg-laying chickens horribly, there's still a significant difference in the level of animal cruelty in producing eggs vs meat.

>>10928634

Because it discriminates against people and their cultural dietary habits.

"But it's ok. As a liberal, I feel it's ok to discriminate as long as I approve of the discrimination."

>>10928648
True, but ultimately the company pays for your food, which is a privilege many workers don't have at all. An employee is free to buy meat on their own dime just as most employees at other companies would have to do anyway. I can't help but see this as a false sense of entitlement.

>>10928655
>WAAAAH BUY ME MEATIES!!!

Why are drumpfniggers so easily triggered?

>>10928667
>but ultimately the company pays for your food, which is a privilege that needs to be applied EQUALLY to all employees

It's funny when equality and diversity are no longer important when trying to justify Vegan Hegemony.

>>10928655
>"But it's ok. As a liberal, I feel it's ok to discriminate as long as I approve of the discrimination."

Liberals have always had double standards and inconsistent ideology, this is nothing new.

>>10928667
Have you ever worked for a company which does expenses?

These aren't "free meals" for every employee. Expensed meals are used when the company sends someone out on an overnight business trip, or to take a client out to dinner for a business meeting. It has nothing whatsoever to do with "perks". It means that if your boss ordered you to take a visiting client out to dinner then the company pays for yours and that client's meal....well, assuming its vegan of course.

>>10927423
That because grains and legume fatten you up, why do they give it to livestock?

>>10928712
Is the company required by law to expense your meals? If you're going on a trip and *must* eat meat, you could buy it yourself or even pack it before leaving, no?

>>10928723
So I guess you don’t mind getting a stick of semen shoved up your ass by some fat smelly boomer?

>>10928711
The only inconsistency I see is the conservatives here who expect corporate freedom but are complaining about this company's free choice to limit what they expense.

>>10928728

>>10928728
>Is the company required by law to expense your meals?
I know that in my state they are legally required to provide meals under various situations I can't be arsed to type out in full detail but I don't know if that applies to all states and all countries.

>>If you're going on a trip and *must* eat meat, you could buy it yourself or even pack it before leaving, no?
I'm sure you could, but that's missing the point. I'm not complaining about the policy being discriminatory or not. I don't care. The extent of my point is that it's dumb to think of it as "free food" because expensed meals are only a thing in very specific circumstances. I wanted to make sure you didn't misunderstand and think that the company was giving free meals to all their employees on a regular basis.

>>10928739
that.

>>10928756

Why are you even engaging the obvious kid? He won't learn shit until he hits rock bottom in the real world.

>>10928756
I'll concede that my original description of a "company provided meal" wasn't entirely accurate. I'm not even saying this is a good company policy. I'm only defending their right to make it and arguing that demanding meat to be expensible on grounds of discrimination is silly.

You are over-reacting and also retarded. If they want to go out of their way to pay for something they are not oglibated to pay for, that is their business. In this case, they do not have to expense any of the lunches. That is a luxury. That is not in any way comparable to the concepts of segregated bathrooms or selectively giving raises to vegans.

Are you sure it's not? Some companies actually do that. I worked at Comcast and they gave us free fruit, nuts, poptarts, oatmeal, granola bars, fruit snacks, etc... every day. In addition to that, there were frequently company lunches and also meetings which involved free meals. Then every time we had to travel we got to expense all our meals for the entire duration of the trip up to a certain amount per day (way more than I normally spend per day)

>>10930333

>>10930477
I agree with this. However, many plants are still cheaper per calorie compared to meat and dairy products. The only people that spend a lot on a plant based diet are the people who eat absurd amounts of fruit and the people who have some kind of mental illness that results in them obsessing over protein to the point where everything they eat has to be some kind of meat or dairy product.

>>10930477
Quantity is important for filling up, most people don't give a hoot about calories and just eat until they're full.

>>10930608
not him but obviously quantity is important but not the only factor.quality matters as well.
take me for example, i ate a sallad for lunch, my normal size but this time i had just lettuce,tomato,cucumber and one egg in it. didn't really feel full, even after waiting for a while. then i took like 3 handfulls of nuts&dried berries and after that small amount i felt like i ate too much

>>10928654
If they arent pushing eggs as an actual choice instead of meat you know it's just shitty virtue signaling.
Eggs are great source of protein&vitamins and really damn cheap, almost too cheap as there's not that many people who actually use them so they need to be sold cheaply for people to buy them, cant rack up the prices due to customer demand that much.
Even "Free-range eggs" atleast in my country arent really that much expensive than the ones from horribru conditions, only like 25% or so which is nothing when they're as cheap as they are allready.

>>10928714
I personally ate 42 cows, 91 chickens, 28 calves, 39 ducks, 6 elk, 4 geese, 4 meerkats, 3 regular cats, 2 beaver, a polar bear, and a moose this past year. All pre-raped (just didn’t have the time).
As I was washing my latest victim down with a Diet Mountain Dew, i reviewed my murderous tally sheet and realized I was seriously behind schedule. I needed to do something, anything! I walked out back and stomped 67 chicks to death so I could make my quota for the year.
I felt strangely unfulfilled and began to wonder why I had to destroy 285 animals (at a minimum) per year with my wanton gluttony. This troubled me to no end.., until I saw this post and realized that I was filling the emotional imperative of vegetarian/vegans that TRILLIONS (at least two) of animals are raped and murdereed for carnivores per year.
I could only hope that the other 7 billion humans on this planet were keeping up their end of the bargain, to make the vegan claims of wanton carnivorous destruction ring true.
Then it dawned upon me.., we had forgotten to factor in the vegetarians! They weren’t helping out! There are LITERALLY BILLIONS of animals that should have been already consumed, but have been allowed to languish, uneaten, un-raped, due to this mathematical error.
But, the flesh is weak. I am over-full. I couldn’t eat another bite, not even a mint. My only option is to go hunting with napalm shotgun shells and try to fricassee squirrels on the fly. Perhaps if I just nibble each one a little it will count..,

>>10930356
That’s not an expense account. That is a per diem. An expense account is how companies track and pay for expenses (like client dinners) incurred while conducting official company business.
Your meals and other expenses at Comcast were covered under an expense account but it would have been someone like the corporate training manager who was hosting your event.

Companies that provide snacks and other foods at work are simply providing a perk, not an expensed meal for the purpose of generating client business.
