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.
I had access to a WeWork office for a while. It was fine for solo work or getting a couple of colleagues together for quiet conversations, but their meetings rooms sucked. There was no way to discuss or whiteboard anything confidential in one since the walls were all clear glass and the soundproofing was nonexistent. The whole setup felt like it was created by someone who was going for a ”cool startup office” aesthetic but hadn’t ever actually worked in one.
We were looking at a wework and I asked, why don’t the space between different companies get tinted glass or dividers and the sales guy straight out told me this is the environment we are building here.
What. Where is my organisation’s privacy?
At least my other office could have a personal room for your company even if the meeting rooms were shit.
