US-based co-working operator WeWork Wednesday said it will offer job opportunities to Jet Airways employees, who were affected by the recent suspension of operations. Running into a debt of more than Rs 8,500 crore, Jet Airways has shut down operations temporarily after lenders decided against extending emergency funds for its survival. Cash-starved Jet Airways, which has around 23,000 employees, has delayed payment of salaries to the employees, including pilots. WeWork, in a statement, said it will actively consider job applications from Jet employees for openings across marketing, community management and sales.
“In line with WeWork’s mission to create a world where people work to make a life, not just a living, the company is opening up opportunities for jet employees to be a part of the global shared community,” it added.
