In the email, the company's chief financial officer underscored flexibility as WeWork's advantage, echoing the CEO's comments on CNBC earlier this week. WeWork's revenue growth rate slowed sharply in the first three months of the year and the company burned through hundreds of millions of dollars amid a pandemic that has caused workers to avoid offices and stay home.
