DoorDash Bars Staff From LinkedIn Contact With Instacart Employees Pending Deal
DoorDash has instructed its employees not to send or accept LinkedIn connection requests from Instacart staff, even where prior relationships exist. The guidance appears in an internal question-and-answer document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The restriction is intended to avoid antitrust "gun-jumping," meaning integration activity before regulators approve the $17 billion acquisition. Closing of the deal is expected by late 2027 or early 2028, so the contact freeze could last as long as 20 months.
