WeCrashed is really fun. An Apple TV piece about the rise and fall of Wework.
WeWork, a company that provides shared office space, initially grew at an incredible rate, but ran into big problems when it attempted an initial public offering (IPO) in 2019. The IPO failed and co-founder Adam Neumann stepped down as CEO.
One of the reasons WeWork’s IPO failed was because of concerns about the company’s debt, losses, and management. These issues made investors nervous, and ultimately led to the IPO being canceled.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, WeWork has been in a bigger crisis. As many people started working from home, demand for WeWork's shared office space has dropped sharply. As the work from home spread, WeWork's tenants have tried to terminate their contracts. This has caused WeWork to lose a lot of revenue.
Recently, there were reports that WeWork was considering bankruptcy in New Jersey. The stock price also fell more than 40%, and several executives left the company. Japanese conglomerate SoftBank invested billions in WeWork. However, despite this investment, WeWork is still losing money.
WeWork's management crisis is caused by a variety of factors. The failure of the IPO, the impact of the pandemic, and management problems have all combined to push the company into crisis. It will be interesting to see how WeWork overcomes this crisis in the future.
