WeWork launched self-help: Tenants signed a few months to get 50% off rent The New Crown epidemic has further deteriorated in the United States, causing huge business shocks to property leasing companies including WeWork, the second landlord of the office. According to the latest news from foreign media, people familiar with the matter revealed that WeWork recently provided some corporate tenants with a 50% discount on rents to attract them to sign long-term leases and minimize the cancellation of lease contracts during the virus pandemic.

According to foreign media reports, sources said that WeWork’s rent discount discount is targeted at US tenants. They signed a monthly lease contract, and they promised to sign a longer contract for two or three months. Sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the arrangements publicly.

It is unclear in which cities in the United States WeWork offers rental concessions.

A WeWork representative declined to comment on reports of lower rents.

The pandemic virus pandemic has left most employees around the world at home, implemented remote work, and caused a heavy blow to the physical office leasing industry. Although most of WeWork’s business locations remain open, the Japanese SoftBank Group-backed company said last week that it did not expect to meet its original 2020 financial goals. Last week, the company laid off another 250 people to cut expenses. WeWork rival Knorr & Co. said on Friday that it would lay off half of its workforce.

Before, WeWork had a virus infection in an office building in Manhattan, New York. Are there more employees or writing?Floor infection is unknown. After the infection, WeWork temporarily closed the office building for disinfection and other operations.

A week ago, WeWork announced a measure to provide an additional allowance of $ 100 per day for employees of the company who still work in the office during the epidemic. This policy is mainly for employees in the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom.

It is worth mentioning that WeWork faces another disadvantage. The company believes that the major shareholder, Japan’s SoftBank Group, violated last year’s promise and did not acquire shares in the hands of employees through tendering, which harmed the interests of employees. WeWork has criticized Softbank’s move as “immoral.”
