Meta to lay off nearly 8,000 employees; Singapore staff first to be notified
The parent company of Facebook, Meta Platforms Inc., is set to lay off nearly 8,000 employees and has begun alerting thousands of staff members about the job cuts.
Facebook has replaced Twitter to live stream Golden Globes’ red carpet pre-show slated for January 7. In 2017, Twitter scored the rights to live stream the red carpet show.
“The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announced the two-hour event would be exclusively available on the Golden Globes Facebook page, starting from 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, January 7,” TechCrunch reported on Wednesday. It would be available for Indian users at 4.30 a.m. on Monday, January 8.
