You seem confused to think this is an employers market. DD is being dumb given the kind of talent they employ. They have solid software engineers that other companies are more than willing to take on, offer more money to, full remote and no monthly deliveries. $400k for a Bay Area software engineer is pretty standard.

Im not an engineer but Im well sought after in the market. If my company imposed monthly deliveries, I would jump ship so fast.

Oh no, Im well aware that it is not an employers market now. And sure, I will admit to being a bit biased here since I do drive for DD and UE on the side and have been doing so for a year and a half. So that is why, to me, it seems like an employee getting bent out of shape over this is somewhat of an extreme reaction. I completely get leaving over having to go into the office one day a week and dealing with that, but this is just different, to me anyway.

That said, I have qualms with how DD treats drivers and plays games with offer amounts anyway and actually do support folks sticking it to them. If this is enough to cause a mass exodus and it hurts them, then I certainly wont be losing sleep over it on behalf of DD. But lets face it, every place has their share of BS to deal with and its possible that folks jumping ship from DD to another place over this could, in fact, end up finding something just as obnoxious or aggravating to them at the next place.

Or not, who knows? Gotta do what you gotta do I suppose.
