Why WeWork Will Go out of Business
by Joe · 12 things on Twos
- I may be late on the trend, but WeWork is such a bullsh*t idea.
- Their business model is like - let's go out and buy 1000 lemonade stands have parents get their kids to work at them.
- Please tell me how that's any different from your boss giving you access to a WeWork office.
- A place to do a job, which you hate, to not make enough money, and look forward to the sweet release of going home for dinner.
- Now don't get me wrong, sometimes operating a lemonade stand can be fun. But only for like ONE day.
- I prefer the more cheap route. Go to a local coffee shop, buy a $2 americano, and sit there for 5 hours until I get bored and go home.
- Rinse, repeat, find another coffee shop the next day.
- So if I were the owner of a business with employees, I'd spend the $10,000 a month in office space on Starbucks gift cards.
- Just my Twos cents.
- This blog was inspired by a thing that I wrote on my "Stand Up" list on June 22nd, 2021...
- Co-working space? No thanks. I’ll just buy a $2 coffee and sit there for 8 hours.
