WeWork reviews

Just released a global economic report stating they saved “1.75M metric tons of carbon emissions”, yet this is based on their own metric of cramming people into tiny offices in comparison to a typical office. WeWork buildings are built so crappy and cheap with no industry wide energy standards such as LEED; poorly set-up HVAC systems; no energy efficient lighting; and so much construction waste from ripping apart perfectly good office buildings so they look hip! They do nothing for the environment and are the most corrupt company on the market today!

Before I was hired I asked if there was a good amount of people of color who worked for the company and the HR rep gave me a round about answer. So now that I am here I see why. The majority of people of color specifically African-American or Hispanic work as part of the cleaning crew or low income jobs. I am myself am a person of color so I always feel extremely out of place and an outcast as soon as I walk in their headquarters. And even on my actual team there are a lot of cliques to the point where you can feel extremely alone even though you’re surrounded by hundreds and of people walking up and down the hallways. So if you’re not in the “in crowd” then you will be treated like an outcast. You feel like you are working alone even though you are a part of a team. I feel more comfortable saying hi and talking and socializing with the cleaning crew then I do with my own teammates. People cast you out to the point where they don’t even want you to sit with them or even socialize with them at all to the point where they go as far as to try to avoid being in your presence. The passive aggressive behavior has taken a toll on me mentally in a negative way so I am currently job searching.
