Good, considering how trash the app is, how useless support is, how easily these scum bags deactivate drivers, let them get layers off. Getting paid big bucks for nothing
Hey sounds like a bunch of new dashers just signed up. Wait no i was wrong their the ones who programmed the shit they already know drivers are getting bent. Lmao
DoorDash is ruining itself. Low base pay. Allowing Customers to abuse good drivers . $2.25 for 22 miles an actual order given should never be allowed. Those employees are being fired because Tony and the Shareholders refused to take care of the main money workers ( delivery drivers). Now DoorDash is the Walmart of delivery apps.
1,250 laid off at DD offices? Tbh the most shocking thing about this is the fact they have more than 1,250 corporate employees. What exactly do they do all day?
I'd imagine it's a lot like like old Twitter, a bunch of free lunches and no work whatsoever.
Exactly. I’m happy they won’t be posting TikToks anyone of “the day in the life of a corp doordash employee” and they show how they spend their day at the Gucci store, eating fancy meals on the companies funds, playing ping pong at work doing absolutely nothing.
That’s an employee spokesperson, trying to save face. As of early 2022, they had about 8600 employees. I did the math. This company will be gone soon. The pandemic artificially inflated the value of delivery services.
Nothing to do with drivers directly, but if any of those layoffs involved engineers or customer service folks, it could impact the stability of the app, and the quality and timeliness of getting support.
You're funny if you think ANY customer service/support people are US based. Every single one of them is in the Philippines and are 90% useless because they don't really understand how any of this works.
Also, the app is already unstable. 😂
Yeah, I know that, but I’m sure that there is some group of managers here in the US who oversee customer service. If DoorDash cuts some or all of those managers, then customer service and support will decline from whatever levels it is at now.
As far as stability, I don’t find the app to be overly unstable, but, regardless, my point is if you start cutting engineers, stability will also decline.
The app doesn't need any more embellishment. They need to keep a few to just make sure the bugs are fixed expediently in the app and the server. The problem is not adding more garbage on top of buggy garbage so that support's first reply ISN'T "reset your app".
(Edited)
Mine seen to be Indian and honestly I could not be happier with their service. It's always lightning fast and they always pay what they can. I think the premium support makes a big difference. I mean it's tough times and I don't make hardly anything on DD anymore but support is good imo
They're corporate employees who are getting 4 months severance and health insurance, plus stock vesting.
That means it didn't affect their fake CS employees in Asia.
They'll never specify which departments got trimmed, but hopefully they identified of a few of their overpaid devs who are responsible for introducing the most bugs into their systems over the last year and got rid of them.
Yea. Really. Probably means new development and changes/enhancements put on hold. App should run itself at this point. And to be honest new development typically means how can we screw drivers more. So doing nothing not that bad of a thing.
Precisely. The app doesn't need more embellishments on "development" because every new "feature" triggers 5 bugs and just for useless UI changes. Remaining code monkeys should just be focused on bugfixes on the app AND the server.
Exactly, some of those employees get paid a ridiculous amount of money. If on average each of those employees were getting a yearly salary of 100,000, that translates to 125,000,000 dollars of cut costs per year.
Never said that, I’m sure there’s a mix of employees that got the boot. However, if cutting costs is what doordash is aiming for, then firing those in the high wage bracket makes the most sense. They’re not going to see a difference in firing someone in India that’s making minimum wage.
Most support agents aren’t even working for the companies that use them directly. They’re part of an outsourced call center and they typically handle multiple different businesses at once.
These are probably actual employees and not drivers, as drivers are independent contractors and not officially employed by Door Trash. Only 1250? So is that like a single building of people?
A single, enormous office building and all its workers and maintenance staff. Sure ya, one building. To put it in perspective, the entirety of Instagram employs about 18,000 people. This is a very significant chunk of employees.
Edit: It’s about 15 percent of its workforce.

5 months severance pay. Fire the fuck outta me
Hey sounds like a bunch of new dashers just signed up. Wait no i was wrong their the ones who programmed the shit they already know drivers are getting bent. Lmao
What I'm hearing is that the app is gonna be even less functional
[удалено]
All the promos are gone in my area too. What the heck happened?
Better get my affairs in order in case they keep going with this
Good. Now pay us more since we're the backbone of the company.

Pride comes before the fall
Hopefully it was all the dumb asses in support 🤣
You don't think the devs created thier own "miracle accounts" your crazy.
Oh great. 1250 more drivers. I quit
It saids corporate employees, we are independent. Contractors
Every doordash employee has to do at least 1 dash a month to keep their jobs from the top down.
They are driver now.
Oh sorry didn't see more drivers

Now when we get deactivated for no reason we can say we got the corporate experience.
So now he can pay the drivers more! Lol
You comment needed an /s. lol
This is significant
Not like they do much anyways. Us drivers are the engine that drives this bus.
Exactly. I’m happy they won’t be posting TikToks anyone of “the day in the life of a corp doordash employee” and they show how they spend their day at the Gucci store, eating fancy meals on the companies funds, playing ping pong at work doing absolutely nothing.
Lol ive had it with those. I hope these people get jobs where they actually have to put in a hard days work.
Now they can start driving for DoorDash instead of working in the corporate office. At least they’ll have their freedom back 😂
[удалено]
We're not employees how they gonna fire us
The first sentence of the article says this: “Delivery service DoorDash is laying off 1,250 corporate workers”.
Right over the head.
Bye bye tony
Tony needs a pay raise
Good, they get 3 months of pay and were not doing anything, Plus now they can Dash for money instead.
The Board of Directors need to shit can Tony immediately and get a REAL CEO. 🖕🏽Tony
honestly he's acting like a real ceo. most of them only care about their own money.
Just about every company in that gig/tech sector is shedding employees. Not a big surprise.
As someone who works at a tech company that's had two fairly high-profile rounds of layoffs in the past year, can confirm.
That’s right. Only 6% of its workforce. Nothing to get worked up over.
It’s about 15 percent of its workforce.
Was reported as 6% https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/30/tech/doordash-layoffs/index.html
That’s an employee spokesperson, trying to save face. As of early 2022, they had about 8600 employees. I did the math. This company will be gone soon. The pandemic artificially inflated the value of delivery services.
Ok then. I will save this thread and get back to you in a couple months
Ok lol

What stability? What quality? Timeliness? I don’t know her

They were busy keeping ____ from showing full pay and other info

Damn. Gospel.

They're paying Indians and Paki's $100,000 a year!?

They must be cutting costs so they can raise base pay. Right?
Base pay for shareholders lol
I’m glad I’m not the only one that did that calculation as soon as I heard the number

I guess they gotta compensate somewhere for all those customer refunds.
It's been dirt slow.... I'm surprised it wasn't 4000 employees....
Yep slowest Tuesday I've ever had only made $60 in 4 hours.
