What exactly is a 1-3 month delay supposed to buy them? What do they think is going to happen between now and the end of the year to cause potential investors to say "Wework really is a tech unicorn, I want in on the IPO"?

They could halt expansion and raise prices instead to improve the unit economics. They could also fire the senior management. I doubt they'll do either of these things.

(It wouldn't cause it to be a tech IPO, but at least a sustainable business IPO).

I suspect nothing. These guys are upside down at the first wife of a softening in commercial real estate.

Uber is laying off people, it's gonna happen.

Minor modification to the offering followed by a massive spin campaign. Expect to see shills like Larry Cudlow suddenly start talking it up.
