DoorDash Announces It Will No Longer Skim Tips From Workers ⇥ engadget.com

Amrita Khalid, Engadget:

DoorDash drivers will earn 100 percent of tips under a revamped set of rules on pay. The delivery service today announced a new tipping and earnings policy that it claims will lead to drivers earning more on average. The development comes more than a month after news reports exposed the company for pocketing its driver’s tips. In response to the widespread backlash, DoorDash CEO Tony Xu promised it would reevaluate how it pays its workers.

I think tipping is a silly practice that should be abandoned, but barring that, at least a policy like this no longer allows DoorDash to use tips to replace worker wages.

Update: Amazon also announced that it will stop skimming tips, thus also meeting basic ethical expectations.
