I normally only care about the stresses of management and not the rank and file employees, but every so often an employee has a legitimate complaint.

The delivery service DoorDash is making all its employees — even the CEO — deliver at least once a month, but not everyone is happy about the initiative, and some employees have turned to an anonymous employee social platform to vent.
Under its WeDash program, employees — including those in DoorDash's corporate offices — must serve as delivery drivers at least once a month. If they can't deliver, they can choose other experiences, such as shadowing customer-service staff.

Doordash making engineers deliver food
Mandatory "WeDash" starts from next year. You need to dash once a month. WILL BE TRACKED IN PERFORMANCE REVIEWS!!
What the actual ****? I didn't sign up for this, there was nothing in the offer letter/job description about this.

Engineers making 400k annually can justifiably be very sensitive people. They shouldn't be lumped together with the rank and file delivery drivers. What if someone they're delivering to has covid? Or just smells bad? This is no way to show employee appreciation for your best and brightest employees.

Most of my coworkers and I are excited. DD pays well and I get to better understand what I'm working on, and hopefully improve the experience for our dashers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some employees came to the program's defense. These employees who actually need to to use their service to "better understand" what they're working on obviously don't have the same brilliant inherent understanding of the program that this engineer who is complaining has.
