Comment on WeWork Cleans House, Looks to Trim Staff Close to Ex-CEO, Sell Private Jetparent

Comments

If I ran the place (I'm just the "primary member" for a 20-space private space in one of their LA locations), I would suggest that they prioritize handling all of these real problem tickets and stop spending time planning and coordinating massages, astrology readings, ice cream with unpronounceable names, etc.

But then they would just be a landlord and not a VC backed lifestyle brand super hip co.

My mental image of the old CEO is Ryan from The Office.

And the average investor in WeWork is a Michael Scott type that thinks he has the next big thing lined up.

"Convergence, viral marketing. We're going guerilla, we're taking it to the streets while keeping an eye on the street. Wall Street. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, but it is what it is. Renting short-term office space just became fun".

Wow, that is incredibly spot-on

Which just may have to do with the total lack of soundproofing at WeWork, poor HVAC, and lack of per office thermostats...imagine if the technology existed to solve those problems...
