DoorDash is buying Instacart for $17 billion. Its employees can’t add Instacart staff on LinkedIn

DoorDash is spending $17 billion to acquire Instacart. But until the deal closes, its employees aren’t even allowed to connect with their future colleagues on LinkedIn. If an Instacart employee reaches out, DoorDash has a script ready: “Congrats! Looking forward to connecting after the deal closes.” Anything beyond that, the company says, needs approval from its legal team. The instructions come from an internal Q&A that DoorDash filed with the SEC on Oct. 29, the day the deal was announced.
