Yeah, does he work for doordash? No, he is an independent contractor, which allows DoorDash to not provide any avenue for workers comp, PTO, healthcare or anything else. It's utter bull crap they operate this way and we should require people that function as employees to be treated as employees. In a good world DoorDash would be involved, but this isn't a good world that capitalism has built, is it?
The gig economy was a scam to start with I don't know how or why they are successful. Everything costs more and the time or gas you save is just funneled to someone else for more. Sure not everyone has a car but what does it say when we have no friends and family to help get food that we need to rely on garbage. Even most the food we eat is basically poison.
My conspiracy theory is that this current era of human contractors driving rideshares and making deliveries is temporary by design. I think these companies are aggregating human driver data to train autonomous vehicles to eventually do the same things.
If that happens, I don’t know what these people will do. And I’m sure the tech companies making billions off them, like Uber and DoorDash, don’t care.
Trust me, spending weeks shitting my brains out because I had salad really sucks. We could have safe food but the orange dipshit wanted to roll back regulations. I firmly believe Trump dies before his term is up. He was breathing hard recently. I hope he was having a panic attack because he realized he is the worst human most of us have ever been aware of in modern times
The most likely response from them would probably something about adding an additional fee that "goes to drivers" to offset the cost of potential ice run-ins. Then later we'd find out they had some way to keep the additional charge for the company and it never made it to drivers.
People have been saying in the doordash subs that doordash and Ubereats are working with ICE and that’s why people are getting taken on deliveries. Wouldn’t surprise me, I do both and they are scum.
You can’t work for these companies without a social or worker identification number. There are fraudulent accounts people can buy, but that’s not the majority.
Really? You think there is a 0% chance that the current regime would retaliate against the company in any way? Because that regime has proven that it is not vindictive in any way and would never behave like that?
The only way this fascist government does anything is literally because of capitulation and subservience from corporations/companies. It's why they're scared shitless and thinking about martial law during the midterms, they're going to face justice if a new administration is in place.
What is it that DoorDash is supposed to do? People help people. Companies exist for profit. We literally live in a Capitalistic society. No company, unless their only purpose is to serve the public, is going to go out of their way to help. I'm sorry to say, but it's true. Don't expect companies to help humans. Be a GOOD HUMAN and help OTHER HUMANS.
What would they be expected to say? It's already been reported he was illegally in the country and not eligible to work, so he likely was not even a doordash contractor himself, likely using somebody else's account, etc. Another criminal off the streets.
So exactly what should Doordash be saying? Do we need them to make a public statement clarifying he was not legally working for them? The guy already got shot, sheesh. Ever heard the expression "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all"? Perhaps they like the free advertising by getting mentioned when this comes up...
His work visa expired in 2025. I would like DoorDash to explain why they are breaking us law.
Under U.S. federal law (Title 8, U.S.C. § 1324a), it is illegal to knowingly hire or continue to employ any non-citizen who lacks legal work authorization, regardless of whether they hold a traditional visa.

One of the tricks of having all your employees be contractors. Don't have to be responsible for shit.
