Once you have returned from your essentialness (essence?), regale us with stories of crazy stuff happening whilst working at Doordash, Heye. Bonus points for orgies or gun battles you walk into.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

And also tell us about your new life at Merck. I recall that name pretty much solely because they came up in an Ethics in Business class I took for donating gazillions of doses of medicine aimed at curing river blindness and elephantiasis and have continued to do so for decades. That seems pretty cool to me.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

Highest paying job offer I ever received was from a company I had some big time ethical concerns about joining. I would have traveled the world (training people in ethics, believe it or not) but much of it would have been on offshore oil rigs and military manufacturing facilities. I turned down the offer.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

I've realized why I like it... it's very RPG-like. I wander around in my car searching for quests. Someone offers me a quest, some poor npc is in need of provisions, I can either accept or decline the quest. If I accept, I procure the provisions, deliver them to the npc and am rewarded with treasure! Then onto the next quest.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

Mostly all drop-offs are "contactless" at this point. I drop the food on a doorstep, knock or text a picture of the food and walk away. I usually stand by my car to make sure someone realizes their food is there (a lot of dashers just leave, time=money) wave and move on to the next job.

Apparently they either just released or are about to release an ebola vaccine which will make no money (probably lose money) but will help tons of people. So that's pretty cool.
You hear/see this quote from George Merck (founder) all over the place:
"We try to remember that medicine is for the patient. We try never to forget that medicine is for the people. It is not for the profits. The profits follow, and if we have remembered that, they have never failed to appear. The better we have remembered it, the larger they have been. Medicine is for the patient."I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...
