From $47 Billion, to the verge of bankruptcy in just a matter of weeks. The WeWork disaster is a real roller coaster and it would seem that their erratic CEO Adam Neumann is mostly to blame.

The problem with a great majority of these "start-ups" is that they seem to like inventing problems to solve, instead of solving any actual problems.

if you ever feel bad, remember some guy invested $8 billion in this company

"Things were doing great for wework, until people started looking into the company" this is still the greatest line ever spoken on this channel haha

My favorite WeWork story was in late 2020 when they published an article claiming “if your employees dont want to come back to the office it might show that theyre not very committed to their work or the company”. Very convenient coming from a company that rents office space lol

@AaronZak-js

I am trying to avoid making any new buys at this point in other not to get sucked into a bear market trap.It's tough making money in stocks when institutional investors are the driving force behind the selling.. although I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

He trademarked the word "we", and had his own company pay his millions for licensing. Straight up conman

I worked in a WeWork building for 2 years. I was blown away at the amount of waste. They had about 4x the staff than was needed. They paid companies to come water their plants... while a WeWork employee 'escorted' them through the building and just stood and watched them water plants. That my friends is the tip of the iceberg. I kept telling everyone "WeWork is not a financially viable business being run this way! It's going to go the way of the dinosaurs". Flash forward to 2020...

I remember a very tech savvy, younger guy in our shop coming and telling me about this company and how it was going to revolutionize work and commercial real estate. I thought about it for a good 5 minutes, and then pretty much wrote it off as the dumbest fucking thing I'd heard in my entire working life. It seemed from the outset like solving a problem no one had, using a method no one who's serious about work or growing a business would feel comfortable with, and look at that - I was right. If I, just a normal dude who's worked a lot in my life for and with companies who grow, could see it - a LOT of people could see it. Unfortunately, dreamy-eyed investors and clueless young people didn't see it and the idea got sold. Collaborative open spaces are great for kindergartners. Not so much for smart, productive adults who need to bear down and get shit done. This was a commercial frat party for people who justify what they do.

It's one thing to not be a fan of wearing a suit and tie but walking around the office without showering after a workout is something completely different. No CEO should EVER do something like that.

This one of those things that for a split second sounds like a good idea, and then realise that cafes and libraries exist

For a company called WeWork, all their stock footage is of hippies drinking coffee and browsing the web.

WeWork's greatest hustle was convincing investors it was a tech company.

I know this is an old video, but interestingly enough shared offices actually gained traction in Japan during COVID when more people started working remotely. But one of the reasons is that Japanese houses tend to be very small in big cities (a very typical house for a single person here is often 18/20sqm), so many people don’t have a dedicated space to work at home (some houses I lived in barely had space for a table!). Also, unlimited internet connections usually come with long term contracts, so it makes sense to rent a office, especially if you think your company will call off remote work as soon as they can. SoftBank dude was right, just got the country/timing wrong 😂
