I find the use of "we" as a CEO to be disingenuous. Being the head of the company means taking ownership for your company's actions and I feel at that level you don't get to deflect to "we".


Pretty basic for good leaders:

When the organization is doing good it's We

When the organization is doing bad it's Me


I wholeheartedly agree and should have better articulated my comment to mention that deflecting to "we" is acceptable when the company does something well!


For tech companies, you might say it's the Reverse - CW's The Flash.


Eobard Thawne?


IDK, maybe the "we" goes beyond Instacart

to me, as a customer, the vendor-partners (e.g. Costco, BevMo, Ralphs, Whole Foods, CVS, Petco, etc) also seem a bit dirty. i mean, one can ask the question whether they were totally ignorant of Instacart's payment and tip related practices.
