WeWork to drop the job axe this week
Job cuts have been taking place at WeWork over recent weeks as the company tries to stabilize its financial ship.
This week could bring the biggest chunk of cuts, according to the New York Times.
The shared workspace company could reportedly cut at least 4,000 jobs as soon as Tuesday, after heavy losses took the company to the brink of bankruptcy.
The company could cut 2,000 from a staff of 2,500 in its core business and another 1,000 from non-core businesses as they get sold or shutdown, according to the Times.
