Hey, what’s Adam Neumann up to these days?
Remember WeWork’s doomed IPO? We’re about a year from that whole bananapants story, but today The Wall Street Journal helped clear up one loose end. Apparently erstwhile WeWork CEO Adam Neumann is no longer at the company as a consultant. Today, we’ll talk about what we know and what we don’t about how the office-space company is faring in seven months into the pandemic. Plus: Halloween candy power rankings and the real-life Michael Myers — no, the other one.
Here’s a list of everything we talked about today:
- “WeWork Chairman Says Consulting Deal With Adam Neumann No Longer in Place” from The Wall Street Journal
- One of our previous episodes about WeWork
- And a story about working at WeWork from “This Is Uncomfortable”
- “DHS Proposes to Change Admission Period Structure for F, J and I Nonimmigrants” from DHS
- “The Ultimate Halloween Candy Power Ranking” from FiveThirtyEight
- These videos from “Michael Myers of Decatur”
