uber, lyft, to a lesser extent slack


Can you all be more specific about which "talking points" are similar? These companies had to submit financial statements ahead of their IPOs and as far as I know, WE has been a complete trainwreck in comparison to the others. Talking about "talking points" doesn't seem to address any knowledge of what exists in financial statements, it sounds way more abstract like we're trying to say that Uber, Slack, etc. all talk big about themselves but are actually not that great. Like that matters? In comparison to a CEO who has used his position to allow for absurdly corrupt looking deals and nepotism, which was not the case for Uber, Slack, etc.

Just saying, maybe you and the other person could be more specific about how WeWork is similar to Uber, Slack, etc. beyond "talking points" because financial statements are more substantial than how similar companies puff themselves up through PR and branding.


Why Slack and none of the other recent tech IPOs? There have been. A lot in the past year.
