    Xu said most of the company’s investments are paying off and the business is more resilient than others. However, Doordash sped up hiring during the pandemic, and operating expenses would continue to outgrow revenue if things didn’t change.?
    “We were not as rigorous as we should have been in managing our team growth,” Xu said. “That’s on me.”
    DoorDash joins other tech companies, like?Amazon,?Meta and?Microsoft, in cutting staff.?
