About
In September 2020, WeWork's Chinese unit underwent a significant restructuring, selling a majority stake to Trustbridge Partners for $200 million, effectively transitioning to a Chinese-owned entity. As part of this localization and cost-cutting move, layoffs occurred within WeWork China, though the exact number of employees affected was not disclosed. The company had expanded rapidly in China since 2016, operating over 100 locations across 12 cities with 65,000 members, but faced financial challenges. Globally, WeWork, a major co-working space provider in the real estate and tech industry, served 612,000 members across 38 countries. The layoffs were tied to the strategic shift to reduce WeWork's direct involvement and control in the Chinese market amid broader financial pressures.
