At the start of this week, news broke that embattled office-sharing company WeWork was looking to move beyond its current temporary approach of having two chief executive officers. WeWork, founded by Adam Neumann and backed and bailed out by SoftBank is currently being run by Artie Minson and Sebastian Gunningham. To change this, the company's board was interested in bringing T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS CEO John Legere. Now, it's being reported that Mr. Legere is not interested in departing T-Mobile.

In a report by CNBC, it's suggested that Mr. Legere is not interested in taking the top office at WeWork. T-Mobile's CEO is known for his bold behavior and his turnaround of a company that can now hope to compete with both Verizon and AT&T. Sources close to the matter believe that since WeWork is backed by SoftBank, and Sprint, T-Mobile's merger partner is also backed by the Japanese holding company, Mr. Legere fears a potential conflict of interest that might arise were he to accept WeWork's offer.
