Uber Singapore employees allegedly told to vacate offices within 2 hours; Uber says not true

The rumors and reports of Uber selling off its Southeast Asia operations to Grab were finally verified this morning. Ending the long battle between the two ride-hailing firms, Uber will make its exit from the region in the upcoming months, and current users will only have two weeks left to book rides with the app.

But while the news didn’t come as a shock, the way that Uber employees in Singapore claim they were unceremoniously sent packing this morning kind of did. Various posts on social media by former Uber staffers alleged that employees were given just hours to pack up their things and exit the premises, located at Mapletree Anson, an assertion later denied by Uber.
