Flatiron School, a coding bootcamp owned by WeWork, laid off over 100 employees in early May 2020 as part of broader cost-cutting measures by its parent company amid the coronavirus pandemic. The layoffs primarily affected design and marketing teams, leading to the wind-down of its design program and the permanent closure of campuses in Atlanta and London. Employees received four months' severance pay. The cuts reflect WeWork's ongoing restructuring efforts to navigate financial challenges during the pandemic.
