“#\u2018Least engaged\u2019 employees want to work from home: WeWork CEO<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A desire to work remotely is a sign of poor job engagement, says the head of shared workspace company WeWork.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But other executives are slamming him for that app<\/a>raisal. <\/p>\n

Sandeep Mathrani, CEO of the commercial real estate venture, said this week that employee engagement directly correlates with a preference for working in-person or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one is saying they don\u2019t want to go to work. They are saying \u2018I wanna go to work two or three days a week\u2019 and \u2018I\u2019d like to work from home a day a week,\u2019 \u201d Mathrani, 59, said at the Wall Street Journal\u2019s Future of Everything festival Wednesday, Insider<\/a> reported. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also pretty obvious that those who are overly engaged with the company want to go to the office two-thirds of the time at least,\u201d he continued. \u201cThose who are least engaged are very comfortable working from home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mathrani \u2014 who took over as CEO in 2020 following the ouster of company founder Adam Neumann \u2014 went on to cite the collaboration, innovation and company culture that happens when colleagues work together in person as his reasoning. Combating \u201cZoom fatigue,\u201d he continued, was a significant reason many businesses have had employees begin returning to the office and establishing \u201chybrid\u201d working schedules.<\/p>\n

In response to the blunt assessment, other CEOs have taken to Twitter<\/a> to general<\/a>ly taunt him and specifically point out that Mathrani has a significant conflict of interest in determining such a thing, as WeWork benefits from workers returning to an office setting. The office-leasing empire was seriously impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, though in January Mathrani said the company could reach profitability by year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most engaged employees always store their files in Box,\u201d tweeted<\/a> the cloud content company CEO, Aaron Levie, in a mockery of Mathrani\u2019s vested interest against remote work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most engaged employees always take @Uber to work and order @UberEats so they can skip those pesky long lunches,\u201d responded<\/a> Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

WeWork did not return The Post\u2019s request for comment.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
