WeWork faces bankruptcy, especially if remote work stays the default. It's hardly a surprise that anyone running a beleaguered company like that would attempt to cast doubt on remote work.

I don't think it will save them. Do you?

Their business model has the most to lose if this trend continues. So it is understandable why the ceo would take such creative liberties to paint the picture.

Does it? It feels to me like it stands to gain a good bit. There are a lot more people remote working either part or full time, and many remote workers like to use coworking spaces. Their potential customer base is probably higher than it was pre-pandemic.

I believe WeWork makes most of their money colocating teams and companies, not off hot-desk remote workers.

I'm kind of surprised the company isn't insolvent already given that it was one enormous bet on the value of inner city commercial real estate.
