Last time I was searching for an office in Berlin, I remember some shady sales tactics (without remembering details) and a totally overpriced offer. Made me skip them. But take it with a grain of salt, I’m German and might just not be used to US “sales stunts”.

I mean people always called out WeWork as just another intermediary, with no value added (besides cost overhead). And they somehow wanted to be called an "tech" company. Even before pandemics it was called risky when they long-term rented multiple office building, for above average prices.

Imagine if they just used the 20 billion raised to buy the buildings instead.

Me too in Milan. For 1 month they asked 3x monthly rent if paying with bank wire
