This article has been updated to reflect a statement issued by Sandeep Mathrani on Friday following the comments on working from home and engagement.

The CEO of WeWork has hit headlines after suggesting that a person's desire to go into an office is dependent upon how “engaged” they are at work – Business Insider reported.

During the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival on Wednesday, boss Sandeep Mathrani, said that those people that are most comfortable working from home are the “least engaged”, while those who are “overly engaged” want to go to the office.

He said: "No one is saying they don't want to go to work. They are saying 'I wanna go to work two or three days a week' and 'I'd like to work from home a day a week’.”
