guys, wework.... i cannot
/i died in october 2017 when wework’s ceo said their valuation was based on energy and spirituality. actually, i think he said, “No one is investing in a co-working company worth $20 billion. That doesn't exist. Our valuation and size today are much more based on our energy and spirituality than it is on a multiple of revenue." im sorry but this is truly insane.
i then died again when wework renamed their company the We Company. from bloomberg opinion w/ matt levine (thank you !!):
Me: What does your company do?
We: We encompass all aspects of your life, in both physical and digital worlds.
Me: Wait that’s terrifying.
We: We’re like Facebook, only you also live here.
Me: Who did you say you are again?
We: We are We.
they are actually making a preschool called wegrow because their cofounder and also wife of ceo thinks it will allow 5 yr olds to find their lives’ purpose. she said, “These children come into the world, they are very evolved, they are very special. They’re spiritual. They’re all natural entrepreneurs, natural humanitarians, and then it seems like we squash it all out of them in the education system.”
ive now died thrice with this.
ya’ll….this seems like the new theranos or something except with a bit more of an entertaining levity because they’re not messing with terminally ill cancer patients…but like still, what is this nonsense?
