In a message shared with employees and posted on the company’s blog, DoorDash CEO Tony Xu said thatare “the most difficult change to DoorDash that I’ve had to announce in our almost 10-year history.”
“I know that for many of you, today’s news will come as a shock, especially because our business remains strong and continues to grow,” Xu said in the notice. He explained that the layoffs, as with many other recent high-profile layoffs in the tech industry, are a pullback from “sudden and unprecedented opportunities” for company growth that resulted in too much hiring and increased operational costs. DoorDash, he explained, “was actually undersized as a company” before the pandemic. A DoorDash spokesperson told SFGATE that the company had about 20,000 employees worldwide before the layoffs.
“While our business continues to grow fast, given how quickly we hired, our operating expenses — if left unabated — would continue to outgrow our revenue,” he added. Affected employees, according to Xu’s note, will receive 17 weeks’ worth of compensation plus a February 2023 stock vest and health care through the end of March 2023. Employees with H-1B visas will have their layoffs set for March 1, 2023, effectively extending the 60-day timeframe for which workers can find jobs in the United States.
