1 - Did the employees got their salary? It seems likely that yes. 2 - Did the employees were forced to work for WeWork? It seems likely not. WeWork StartUp was a Success a VERY good success for its founders. Indeed we all should take notes because most of the time, we see VCs getting the better deal and the founders/owners small scraps. People seem to forget that RISK is a function of "capitalism," and when you join a company expecting your stock options value goes higher, and you put up with non-sense, that is a risk. It did pay for googlers, msfters, and others. Will your outrage be still in place if: "Adam sold his company for 1.7B$ to <big name>" and then one year later: "<big name> is laying off xxx employees on its <legacy fake name> division. It may sound harsh, but there is a lot of employees that I know were bragging about WeWork going BIG and BAM. BIG BUCKS BABY My current work is a risk too. Tomorrow my boss can say "sorry, we don't need you anymore." Good luck for us all and that we may find wealth and happiness.
