All DoorDash employees, including the chief executive officer and engineers, are now required to make deliveries at least once a month. Some employees are not happy with the new order, but they have to follow.
With the New Year coming up, DoorDash is bringing back one of its programs called WeDash that was halted at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The delivery service company first launched the said program in 2013, around the time when it has started its operations.
The firm’s founders introduced the program with the aim of engaging the company in the community and philanthropic efforts. This scheme is not only for workers in the delivery unit but extends to everyone, without exceptions, with senior executives and engineers included.
"As the company grew, the founders wanted everyone to experience different parts of the product so we could get closer to all our audiences and understand how the product works," the company’s spokesman told CNN Business through an email earlier this week. “Any money that employees earned from participating were donated to a nonprofit.”
The WeDash is returning in January which means all the DoorDash employees must do some delivery works next month. However, some of the employees are already complaining and some media outlets reported that one of the engineers at DoorDash posted a lengthy message but he or she did not reveal his or her identity.
The engineer is apparently not in favor of the upcoming order that they too, should make deliveries. On the Blind platform where workers post complaints about their companies, the engineer said that delivering orders even once a month is not part of the job description when they applied for work at DoorDash.
The person said he or she did not sign up for delivery works and there was nothing related to making deliveries in the job offer. The post attracted many people and in no time, it already gained thousands of comments with mixed reactions.
In reply to the post, DoorDash issued a statement telling Nexstar, “This is not new, we’ve always had this program and simply paused it for a bit during the pandemic. The sentiment of the employee on Blind is not a reflection of the employee base at large and this is a valued program we’ve had since the company’s inception.”
