"We" gone off the rails

Volunteer

From the WSJ today.

"Mr. Neumann’s office-space giant had weeks earlier struck a deal with Mr. Hamilton [ a surfer], and announced in January that it led a $32 million investment in the pro surfer’s natural-foods business, Laird Superfood....

At his direction, WeWork also has invested in a wave-pool maker"

And of course "We" has the requisite executive jet for visiting surfer Laird in Hawaii...

WeWork is straight up selling office design services on NPR ads now.

Why is this forum so seemingly obsessed with WeWork?

Am I the only one who does not know what WE is? I could google it... I guess.

you don’t know what it is, but you commented “we’rewankers” on volunteer’s last whining post about it. playing (or just being) dumb isn’t a good look on you, ns.

^ I did comment. Does not mean I know what it is to add a play on their name in the other thread.

A developer of office buildings with a savvy marketing team has financial success.  Is this a controversy or just how this part of the industry works?

Actually they lost over $700 million dollars last year. They are mostly funded by the Saudis through SoFi bank so who cares? On the other hand they are the direct or indirect employers of a lot of architects, interior architects/designers. Think of them as the new Enron or Solyndra.
