Wasn't Doordash one of the companies that was lowering payments if tips were added? Eg, if they were going to pay $10 for a delivery, and someone left a $2 tip, they would reduce what they paid to $8. The driver gets $10, rather than the $12 you'd imagine.
I have a hard time reading anything charitably about the company. If you exploit your workers, I don't care how scrappy and clever you were in bootstrapping.

- sukilot 6y agoThey were subsidizing tips to guarantee a minimum payout if customers tipped too low. But customers wanted to undertip while still having workers get laid more, and then blamed doordash instead of their own unwillingness to pay.
- Pfhreak 6y agoThose are some serious mental gymnastics, and as far as I'm aware they didn't say that anywhere up front.
