It's just the latest in these types of stories where I'm absolutely floored by how many employees a company has. Why on earth does DoorDash have 20,800 employees (if 1250 represents 6%)? What are TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE doing all day for them?

Door Dash is a fake company that couldn't even be profitable when we were all stuck inside our homes with no restaurants to go to., but that huge number is obviously inflated to include all of the actual active dashers. Pretty much every Uber, Lyft, GrubHub driver also is a registered dasher.
