    Employee 3

    Hi, my name is [redacted]. (audience applause)

    Marcelo Claure

    Well first you’ve got to tell me why the people like you so much? (audience laughs)

    Employee 3

    Because I asked a question at the last All-Hands meeting.

    Marcelo Claure

    Okay.

    Employee 3

    I’m with the Development Finance Group, I do data analytics and reporting and today’s my one-month anniversary at WeWork. (applause)

    Marcelo Claure

    You’re very popular for one month.

Not asking anyone to dox employee 3, but I’d really love to know what the backstory there is.

I’m willing to bet that person made an impression.

Places I’ve worked, when you start they ask you to stand in front of the company and say or do something whimsical or answer a question (name a piece of sports equipment you would be and why you chose that). It’s possible they said or did something funny people still remember.

I’m only going on that it’s their one month work anniversary. However, WeWork is 3-4000 employees so not sure.

Dev finance group and comment at a precious all hands, I was guessing person called out previous CEO in public.

> remind all of us that we came here to do something meaningful in the world

Couldn’t go on after this BS. This is the first line in the Official cliche/bullshit all-hands playbook.
