WeWork is bidding thousands of employees to reduce losses.

WeWork, the popular co-working space startup that initially received much acclaim from investors and customers alike, but later faced an ugly situation due to its financial instability, has decided to return 6,000 employees. Feet.

The company’s current president, Marcello Claire, confirmed the layoff, although it did not disclose the exact number. In a memo sent to employees on Monday, Claire clarified that most of these layoffs would come from departments not related to the core business sector.

Here is the full text of the memo:

WeWork Team,

This coming week is important in the future of WeWork. We are marking our 10th anniversary, as WeWork broke ground and said there is no need to strengthen the way people work, and we are just getting started.

We will need a more efficient, more focused, and even more customer-centric organization to help our members work and meet their needs. To match our customer-centric priority, the team at WeWork needs to change.

As I said in my last all-company meeting, in areas of business that do not directly support our core business goals, we should accomplish some important tasks. It is difficult, especially energy and commitment have made many contributions. But it is necessary and we are taking steps to support and implement these actions that honor and recognize the service of our colleagues. Through this process, which can begin in just a few weeks in the US, we are getting to eliminate and reduce certain tasks and responsibilities, which can also increase efficiency and accountability. These works will enable and improve us to create even more opportunities in the coming months and years.

In fact, we are working hard to define our immediate next steps to shape the long term of WeWork, and I look forward to sharing it directly with you at the meeting of all the companies from which we originally spoke Spoke to From yesterday’s set. With further reflection and respect for those who are going to be separated in the week, we are rescheduling our All Company meeting on Friday at 10:00 am in New York time. I apologize for the late notice and any inconvenience.

so what’s wrong? After an unsuccessful attempt to float the IPO, Vavark tried to cap on its losses, which later led to Pandora’s Box being pitted against the company’s CEO and his strategy. His initial public offering was held to be his corporate values ​​and the regime deeply questioned his investors.
WeWork now plans to effectively lay off around 2,000 to 3,000 employees who worked directly under them. Another 1000–3000 employees are being let go, which are part of their subsidiary businesses.

Soft Bank Corp, a major investor in Vee Company (the parent company of WeWork), recently took over the reins of the company. The company is continuously losing money with each passing year. We made a loss of $ 1.2 billion in Q3 2019 alone, generating $ 934 million in revenue. So Softbank believes that it is high time they need to go back to the drawing board and once again adapt everything, rather adapt,

The results of these layoffs are going to prove fatal for employees who will now have to find new jobs amid the onset of the recession. On the other hand, WeWork CEO Adam Newman, who had to step down under Duress, receives about $ 185 million in consulting fees and can sell his $ 1 billion shares to Soft Bank Corp.

To fight against the injustice being done to the workers of WeWork, they formed a coalition called the ‘Workers Alliance’, which was being given to the workers, to pressurize the corporates.

Marcello Claire who is taking charge of the entire layoff position and successfully positioning himself as a gentleman leader and the chairman said in an interview that I guarantee you that whatever position will be held with dignity. will leave ‘

We believe that WeWork has been led to a crisis situation due to their poor and ineffective management and their financial grip. In addition, C.E.O Adam Newman WeWork has found itself in hot water, one of the primary reasons. His apparent greed and ability to take advantage of a flawed system allowed him to raise an extraordinary amount of money for himself, while he showed his investors the dream of a complete IC Unicorn for webwork.

We can only hope that Marcelo Claire truly pursues the company’s best interests and fulfills its promise of a return to the morally strong ground of WeWorks.
