WeWork will spend the next month putting together a plan that will prioritize profit over growth, executives said in a meeting with employees Wednesday.
Marcelo Claure, the new chairman who joined from SoftBank Group Corp., and Miguel McKelvey, the co-founder and chief culture officer, spoke to staff at headquarters in New York for the first time since WeWork announced a takeover by its largest shareholder, SoftBank. They reiterated that staff cuts are coming and addressed some questions from anxious employees, according to people who attended the meeting.
