Homegrown audio tech store TC Acoustic have long been known to be a trusted haven for Singapore’s audiophiles, but apparently, it’s a sanctuary for its employees as well. 

While other local businesses might be considering (or have even carried out) pay cuts and layoffs amidst the economic instability during the global pandemic, the husband-and-wife owners of TC Acoustic have decided to do just the opposite with an initiative they’ve dubbed #TCcares. 

Since the circuit breaker measures kicked in, the company’s freelance promoters have been out of the job — the TC Acoustic showroom and the many other retail outlets where its contract staff have been stationed at (like Harvey Norman and Challenger) had to shutter to abide by the imposed rules.  

It affected close to 70 individuals, according to TC Acoustic, some of whom are even dependent on their stream of income from their freelance jobs. A portion of the promoters are under the age of 21 as well, and that meant that they did not qualify for the $600 solidarity payout granted to all adult Singaporeans earlier this month.
