WeWork Declares Bankruptcy
WeWork, once valued at $47 billion, has declared bankruptcy due to its substantial debt. The co-working spaces will remain open for now, but landlords and lenders are expected to suffer losses. Shareholders, including founder Adam Neumann, are likely to lose everything they invested in the company.
Shein Aims for $90 Billion IPO
Shein, the Chinese ultra-fast fashion app, is reportedly targeting an IPO in the United States next year with a valuation of $90 billion. Shein has disrupted traditional fast fashion brands like H&M and Zara by offering real-time retail, manufacturing clothes based on current trends. However, scrutiny around labor practices and design infringement may pose challenges for its IPO.
The Slowdown in Job Quitting
Following the Great Resignation and the trend of quiet quitting, fewer people are voluntarily leaving their jobs this year. The quit rate in America has decreased by a third, with only 2% of workers quitting compared to the previous year's 3%. Factors such as job security and a challenging job market have contributed to the shift towards job retention.
