DoorDash Execs Fail at Delivery, Beta-Test Their Own Chaos
Since 2015, DoorDash corporate knights like VP Cody Aughney moonlight on the mean streets of Washington, DC, delivering sushi and salads as part of 'WeDash,' a program forcing execs to make four annual deliveries because nothing screams empathy like unpaid side gigs. About 8 million Dashers slap roofs of sedans or sprint with coffee, while Tony Xu swears surface-level CEOs just don't get it. Uber and Lyft CEOs are in the mix too, with Uber’s Dara Khosrowshahi lamenting tip baiting, AKA gig workers' favorite cruel sport. In 2024, DoorDash used WeDash to beta test a decluttered home screen, after complaints riddled their Slack channels with venom over app chaos. The crown jewel? An outdated pandemic mask reminder pop-up nobody bothered to disable till a corporate courier noticed. We're all just terrible drivers navigating the delivery highway, but at least the CEOs now wear their own sweat-soaked hats—when not responding to hundreds of emails begging for app mercy.

When your VP delivers sushi but still can’t fix the app, welcome to DoorDash’s WeDash: where corporate execs pretend to dodge real gig pain, and mask reminders from 2020 haunt your lunch orders like bad leftovers.
DoorDash forcing execs to deliver is like making the captain row—the boat’s still sinking, but at least the captain knows how wet it is.
Nothing says ‘corporate empathy’ like quarterly forced deliveries and app beta tests, aka ‘How to babysit your own tech dumpster fire.’
