How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A briskly-paced dissection of a catastrophic con that played out in plain sight, revealing how charisma and venture capital delusion propped up a fundamentally broken business model. It's darkly funny and infuriating in equal measure.

I worked for Wework in 2012. This film goes into great detail as to how messed up this company is/was, but there was so much more that they didn’t show and/or tell, such as how they treated employees (absolutely terrible) and spent a ton of money on insane parties and booze.
