Following WeWork's warning that it could be headed for bankruptcy, FOX Business gives a timeline of the long-suffering co-working company's years of troubles.
Man, just terrible timing overall. If not for COVID, they could have pivoted into something a little more long lasting. But COVID just blindsided them, as it did many others.
If they had some more time they could have pivoted to supporting hybrid work for companies that have a geographically distributed work force. As much as I love working from home, there are some times when it’s better to be in person, and WeWork could let people work hybrid without having to move across the country.
Yeah, and dynamically rent out spaces for single meetings and stuff if you want to go overseas to meet a client or something. This is what I initially thought it was for back when I first heard about it.
Imagine a team in some satellite office in India is having trouble with something, they ship out a specialist there to fix it, and they can rent out spaces from wework for meeting up and stuff.
