Wecrashed returns for its third episode this week, exposing some of the horrific working conditions those at WeWork have had to deal with. Seeing Rebekah in the foreground of all this, taking the brunt of employee concerns, is certainly poetic given she's a female too, and the whole thing sounds like a proper seedy, horrible place to work. Almost like the Ubisoft offices where sexual abuse runs rampant with their staff. Anyway, this chapter does well to turn the attention across to Rebekah rather than Adam and allow Anne Hathaway to take the spotlight instead. This works well to show what she's dealing with, including her tumultuous family history and living in her cousin's shadow. It would appear that WeWork is about to exposed for its corruption and we know that Adam gets kicked out in the end. For now though, Rebekah has managed to steer the ship in the right direction. But as we know, this is just a temporary measure. Episode 3 of Wecrashed starts in 2012 with WeWork on the up. There are staff meetings, drinks on entry and an entrepreneurial spirit right the way across the building. That's the façade anyway. In reality, the whole thing feels icky and unprofessional, almost like a cult. All of this is channelled through Adam, who continues to serve as the ringleader in all this. Alongside working is a fair amount of drinking, dancing and partying. This whisks us along nicely to a summer camp set up by Adam himself, where the employees all show up at Lake Raquette in New York. Rebekah eventually decides to handle this herself and pick herself up out the mud. She's still not happy with Vanessa, whom she completely ignores on the way back to Summer camp. Instead, she decides to take the microphone for herself in front of everyone and speak her piece. Rebekah gives a rousing speaking about creating a better word together, and while she doesn't retract her earlier statement, she does embellish it. To that, she receives a rapturous applause from the crowd. Vanessa meanwhile, packs her things and leaves.
