#340 - Twitter Singapore layoffs & Orchard Road buskers not allowed to perform during holiday season

Ex-employees of Twitter Singapore have come forward with accounts of how the layoffs at their office were handled, and it’s not a good look for the social media giant. How did the process compare to other recent Big Tech layoffs? Elsewhere, buskers are lamenting the restrictions on performing at Orchard Road, which were implemented to control crowds during the holiday season. We debate the merits of such restrictions, especially after what the world witnessed in Itaewon.
