WeWork is set to cut "at least" 2,000 jobs as soon as this week, or roughly 13% of the company's workforce, according to the British newspaper The Guardian, citing anonymous sources inside the company.

According to the paper, workers are getting "little or no work done" because of the company's uncertain financial situation.

One worker told The Guardian: "The atmosphere is toxic. A lot of people worked so hard for this company. We thought we were in on something really big."

Memes of the company's founder and former CEO, Adam Neumann, are said to be circulating on the company's Slack messaging service as some make light of the company's situation.

WeWork's fall from grace has come at breakneck speed. First, the long-awaited initial public offering was pulled over a lack of investor interest. Later it was reported that the banks JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs were in talks to refinance the company.

On Monday, Business Insider reported that WeWork's phone boxes had traces of formaldehyde, and it later emerged that it was something staff knew about as early as August.

WeWork did not immediately respond to Markets Insider for comment on the job cuts.
