"they should have proactively said he would repay the wages taken from their workers. Instead, DoorDash will have pocketed millions of dollars taken from customer tips." They didn't really 'take wages' from any of the workers. All of the money coming in is owned by DoorDash. They are now choosing to give a portion of that to the drivers (the tips). DoorDash doesn't have a monopoly on gig jobs. You can choose to do something else if you don't feel the pay is fair. The reason they didn't really care about the drivers' opinions is because it obviously didn't stop many from driving.
