DoorDash worker gets $10,000 gift from the company: 'I almost started crying'

For one DoorDash delivery worker who received a $10,000 gift from the company this week, it couldn’t have come at a better time.

“My husband cut his hand and had been on workers’ comp, so it’s been kind of rough lately,” Peggie, a Michigan resident who asked for privacy reasons that her last name not be used, said in an interview Tuesday. “I’ve had to hold down the fort.” That meant doing more deliveries, especially in the past four months, the longtime DoorDash DASH worker said.

Peggie is aware of the issues — including fraud, which she said happened to her sister, and having to call support— but said she is a big fan of the company. She has received bonuses from DoorDash for other things, such as making more than 5,000 deliveries, “but never one like this. This one blew my socks off.”
