Dozens of employees expressed indignation in interviews and messages to colleagues on company Slack channels that were relayed to Bloomberg. Mike Adams, who sold a start-up to WeWork, said the payout to Neumann was an “injustice.”Representatives for Neumann and WeWork declined to comment. Neumann, 40, built WeWork into a global real-estate company fueled by relentless optimism and billions of dollars in investment capital and debt. WeWork’s parent company, We Company, abandoned the IPO, and Softbank helped oust Neumann as chief executive. “So we’re too broke to pay employees severance, but Adam gets US$200m?” one post read.
