The bankruptcy filing was expected, as the company announced last month that it was having a difficult time paying off its debt.

Much of the company's struggles are attributed to the pandemic, a time in which people were working more from home, as opposed to utilizing WeWork's office spaces.

WeWork's stock reportedly lost over 99% of its value during that time.

At its peak, WeWork was worth $47 billion.
