Tony 'The Sausage King' Xu
CEO at DoorDash


Tony sent the following email to DoorDash employees earlier today. Greetings DoorDashers! It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that due to the recent 'sausage fest' that occurred on our employee chat forums, we have been forced to let go of 10% of our employees. This was not a decision that was made lightly, however it was necessary in order to keep our business afloat. I want to assure you that this was in no way due to any action by any of our employees. Instead, this was the result of miscommunication and poor judgement by those who should have been more responsible.
At DoorDash, we value diversity and inclusion and this 'sausage fest' was the exact opposite of that.
At DoorDash, we value diversity and inclusion and this 'sausage fest' was the exact opposite of that. We cannot stand for this kind of behaviour and we hope that moving forward, all of our employees will be more mindful of their words and actions. We understand that this news may be difficult and upsetting, and we deeply regret any hardship this may cause. We are grateful for the contributions of all of our employees and we hope to keep the DoorDash family together. Sincerely, Tony 'The Sausage King' Xu
