"Building strong relationships with the rest of your team" may be a bit of a stretch since you're not doing a delivery with the rest of your team... you do it by yourself.
I'm not accusing DoorDash of acting in bad faith here. I'm concerned that this decision could unexpectedly put a portion of their employees in murky territory
Why is it important?
It drives empathy. Testing in non-production environment can tell that the feature is working as expected but it can't tell what the delivery person goes through or what the customer experience is like.
Our policy is not one trip but one day of doing this.
Overall it drivers a deeper appreciation towards deliver agents.
That sounds much more effective. :)
Also even if its was in job description, on H1b it would be considered an additional job and might need an additional H1b filling. Any active income will need to filed by the employer
This is my understanding.
It is also the reason why this program seems to exist in the first place, so it all looks like good faith.
