Meet Goop's cunt cousin

Demanded that workers be fired from WeWork, where she's an exec, because she "didn't like their energy."

Leona Helmsley would be so proud.

I applied for a job 2 years ago. Went through 2 rounds of interviews and then had a lunch meeting with the CEO. He told me over lunch that he wasn’t sure we “vibed” because I had “low energy”. Later that week I get the standard rejection letter. It’s hard enough to be an introvert in the workplace but this pseudo spiritual “energy” “aura” BS is especially hard on introverts. So yeah. I’m not that surprised but totally agree, what a cunt.

r3, why would an introvert agree to a one-on-one lunch with the CEO and expect a different outcome? In every job interview you have to sell yourself like a virgin whore. Introverts can't, or refuse to, do that.

R6 I did! He was looking for something that I couldn’t give him that day and certainly couldn’t give him every day in the workplace. I did get a job after and had a few offers to chose from in the end so I’m not playing the violin for myself but I’m pointing out that there is a breed of entrepreneurs/employers particularly at start ups who are using “energy” to influence their hiring choices. A friend was asked to do a job interview in the gym for a tech startup. His potential boss wanted to stop and “ALRIGHT 🖐🏻“ “Ya man ✋🏻“ “Come through bro ✋🏻“ every 2 minutes. My friend ran out of there and he didn’t get the job. He said that guy would drain you like a vampire. Some people used to traditional workplaces might be a bit shocked of think GOOP’s cousin is a total rare nutter but her bullshit is becoming more common.

Part of the grift is being uncovered. Example, Neumann trademarked the name and had the company purchase the name for an obscene amount of money. The same was done for some of the buildings used in the gift.

by Anonymousreply 76September 25, 2019 12:03 PM

On Tuesday, billionaire Adam Neumann stepped down from his role as CEO of the office-rental start-up WeWork, in the wake of reports about his outlandish behavior and the company pushing back its once highly anticipated stock IPO.

And while the abrupt, reportedly forced, departure may look like a disaster for WeWork, insiders says it’s actually a relief to employees — and, perhaps, for the CEO himself.

“It’s a great way for him to phase out,” said one top staffer who recently left. “Now he doesn’t have to deliver on all the crazy things he promised. ”

Among Neumann’s reported wildest dreams was creating WeWork Mars — an office space on the red planet. And at a company event in 2018, he said, “There are 150 million orphans in the world. We want to solve this problem and give them a new family: the WeWork family.”

According to a New York magazine story from June, Neumann recently told a person close to the company, “When countries are shooting at each other, I want them to come to me.”

“He clearly is very smart and ambitious,” said a real-estate executive who has had dealings with WeWork. “But he starts talking about some of the more germane aspects of the city’s land-use process, which [is] our specialty, and he has no idea what he’s talking about. Your bulls–t meter just goes off with him. He’s the quintessential person who doesn’t know what they don’t know.”

The New York Post ran a scathing article on him yesterday. Here's my favorite part:

His erratic behavior led some staffers to retaliate. When, in June 2018, he abruptly announced that WeWork was banning meat at employee events and would no long­er reimburse staff for dinners of beef, poultry or pork, beleaguered workers found a way to strike back. According to one source, some started expensing pricey lobster meals. Others opted for the fanciest veggies they could find.

“People were going to ­Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurants,” said a former engineer.

He added that the way the ­no-meat announcement was handled was a mess.

“They said they were banning meat, but then didn’t explain whether people could bring meat [to the office for lunch]. Then it was clarified that you can eat meat. Then it was, ‘You can’t eat meat during the workday at all,’ ” the former engineer said. “There was then talk that we couldn’t eat meat in the workroom. Then it was clarified that you could bring and eat meat at work, but WeWork won’t fund it anymore.”

According to the Wall Street Journal article, employees witnessed Neumann eating meat after the announcement.

The confusion around the ban, the former engineer said, “was a turning point at the company. Most people felt like management was talking down [to them], rather than working with [them].”

That is hilarious, R121 and completely unsurprising. These types are always do as I say, not as I do.

We Works continues to buy up properties in my East Coast city. What will they become when it fails? Some have been expensively rennovated. I have wondered if it was a front for something. Is there SUCH a need for temp office space? For people who work remotely, many prefer to do it at home so they can deduct part of their rent/mortgage.

The We Works and Coves I have seen all have huge street floor windows, seems to be a very distracting work environment. They are so expensive but people are stared at like they are in the zoo, too funny.

Neumann then turned around and, in January of this year, sold the “we” right to his real-estate company, ­reportedly pocketing $5.9 million for it. He later returned the money after a public flogging.

Have any of you tried to figure out their “business model”? It’s not even something that anyone could consider as viable.

These people have a vision, but have absolutely no idea how to execute that into profit. Say whatever you want about Paltrow and Goop, but at least she sells tangible products.

In my experience, this is the moment all with half a brain abandon ship. Actually, they should have abandoned ship many months ago. People that currently work there would be wise to look for employment elsewhere, ASAP.

R108 You must be a newcomer here if you think Jews are inviolate here on DL. There are anti-Jewish slurs all over this forum. Furthermore the hatred doesn't stem from those with an objection to the religion per se, but more so from bigoted if not racist mindsets that perpetrate the memes, tropes, stereotypes, and slurs.

People should also remember not all Jews are Israelis, or Americans, or support Likud and Netanyahu. If not truly bigoted, the balance of the hate stems from young Americans seeing Israel as an Apartheid state. This they feel comfortable blaming all Jews for. You shouldn't hate those you believe to be privileged either, just because they may appear successful. There are far more privileged people throughout the world if you insist on creating a pecking order. There exists many poor and middle-class Jews as well.

WeWork IPO fail is unique

The largest tenant in all of New York City — WeWork, with 5.2 million square feet of space — shelved its plans to go public on Monday, a week after ditching its controversial co-founder and CEO, Adam Neumann.

While most Wall Street savants think WeWork’s failed initial public offering was a harbinger of things to come in the IPO market, the truth is that the reason for the failure lies in WeWork’s untested and fatally flawed business model.

WeWork isn’t just a tenant — it is also a landlord. It typically rents large spaces, then creates ultra-modern workspaces out of them to re-rent out on short-term leases. It also owns some of the buildings in which it rents out spaces.

The WeWork idea is great for startups, people who want to network or even companies that wish to have a flexible presence in a city without having to manage the space or deal with long-term contracts.

But too much of WeWork’s space is dedicated to communal areas: couches, cubbyholes and chit-chat spots that do not generate revenue.

And that’s a problem in high-rent cities like New York, London and Washington, DC, where space is at a premium.

WeWork hasn’t even experienced the down times — yet it can’t make money even in this best of economic climates. For the first six months of 2019, the company lost $689.7 million on revenues of just $1.54 billion.

So it’s really no surprise that the IPO roadshow wasn’t well received — especially considering Neumann sold $750 million worth of stock leading up to it.

Kudos to WeWork parent We Co. for picking up on the space needs of the telecommuter and startup markets. But it has too many meaningful operational problems for its IPO to have been a success.

WeWork’s long-term lease in the former Lord & Taylor building in which it has planned to put its headquarters is becoming an albatross for the embattled company, sources said.

Since WeWork signed the lease in February it is the lone tenant in the 424 5th Avenue building and is paying rent that is well above market, an average of $105 a square foot including office and retail space at the nearly 700,000 square foot location, sources close to the situation said. That is $73.5 million annually.

WeWork originally said it would make the Lord & Taylor site its headquarters. It had an apparent change of heart last summer, when it began talks with Jeff Bezos for Amazon to lease most or all of the building. The WSJ in July reported a deal was in the works.

But the discussions broke down, sources said.

A source close to WeWork insisted that talks are not over.

Still, Amazon, as The Post reported in August, is close to a deal to lease 400,000 square feet at SL Green’s 460 West 34th Street.

WeWork signs long-term leases in buildings and then sub-leases them usually on a short-term basis at higher rates.

Tech companies have expressed interest over the last six months in the space, a source familiar with the situation said.

SEE ALSO

WeWork is proof that the IPO market is in trouble WeWork also is considering using half the space for its headquarters, the source said.

This is believed to be WeWork’s biggest lease.

The Lord & Taylor building’s floor area is nearly twice as much as at any of WeWork’s other city locations. WeWork is Manhattan’s largest office tenant with over five million square feet.

WeWork leased the space in a deal rife with potential conflicts which might have led to it agreeing to a very expensive lease, sources said.

A separate company, WeWork Property Investors, “ARK”, bought the building in January for $850 million. ARK then leased space to WeWork, the operating company.

WeWork Founder Adam Neumann controlled both WeWork and its property arm, sources said.

“Adam pushed everything through as he was the majority owner on everything and nobody ever said no to him,” the source close to the situation said. “This was Adam’s way of profiting off the money-losing operating side.”

WeWork is current with its payments, and can only break the lease if it goes bankrupt, a source said.

“Without the previously anticipated funding to shore them up, the building is now a huge problem,” the source close to the situation said, referring to WeWork’s pulled IPO last month.

JPMorgan and Starwood Property Trust gave Ark a $600 million mortgage for the Lord & Taylor building purchase.

SEE ALSO

Ex-WeWork CEO Adam Neumann rejected by multiple co-op boards The Post reported exclusively last week that JPMorgan and other banks were in talks with WeWork about some kind of financing package.

“JPMorgan has to give WeWork a loan or ARK will default,” the source close to the situation said.

Sanford Bernstein last week in a research report said WeWork without new funding could run out of money next year.

ARK investors include Candian pension Caisse De Depot and Rhone Capital.

The co-head of ARK, Wendy Silverstein, resigned last month.

“We are fully committed to meeting our obligations with the Lord and Taylor building, a marquee and historic asset that we are excited to continue revitalizing,” a WeWork spokesperson said.

JPMorgan declined comment. ARK and Neumann did not return calls.

WeWork paid so much for the former Lord & Taylor building off Bryant Park, it can no longer afford to move in, The Post has learned.

Officials within WeWork’s real estate leasing business have told employees in recent days that they are ditching plans to make the former department store their headquarters, a source with direct knowledge told The Post.

Staffers have chalked up the change-up to the stiff lease the office-leasing company agreed to pay for the building — part owned by its ex chief executive, Adam Neumann.

Soon after a group of investors, including Neumann, bought the building for $850 million earlier this year, WeWork signed a long-term lease at a stiff $105 per square foot. As The Post has reported, that’s well above the $80-a-square-foot that’s more typical of buildings in the area.

“They know it makes no sense,” the source said. “As a headquarters, they would have to clear out about 10 locations across the city and consolidate them.”

WeWork, which booted Neumann last month following a scuttled IPO, will now seek to sublease the building at 424 Fifth Avenue, the source said.

WeWork declined commment.
