Ducks in a Row: Back to the Future with WeWork’s Rebekah Neumann
by Miki Saxon
KG Charles-Harris sent me an article about WeWork-as-a-cult, which prompted yesterday’s Oldie.
This post isn’t about WeWork, but about two things that struck me.
First, the pure adoration shown to Adam Neumann and the absolute blind following of all he preaches reeks of Jim Jones only with a far larger world vision.
The second were the words uttered by Neumann’s wife Rebekah at the recent Tunbridge Wells Summer Camp.
“A big part of being a woman is to help men [like Adam] manifest their calling in life.”
Shades of Phyllis Schlafly.
And here I thought the fight, from gender equity to #metoo was so women could pursue their own, independent manifest destiny.
Silly me.
All this is even more disturbing, since the great majority of both WeWork employees and devotees are Millennials.
