Another Zucker punch: Meta plans fresh layoffs that will put THOUSANDS of staff out of a job before CEO Mark Zuckerberg goes on paternity leave - on top of 11,000 fired in November as part of tech giant's 'year of efficiency'

Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, to unleash new cuts after owner Mark Zuckerberg's pledge 2023 will be 'year of efficiency'

The news comes after 11,000 jobs, 13 percent of the workforce, were slashed in November

Morale among staff has plunged amid the layoffs - but Meta's stock has surged

Meta is planning to slash thousands more jobs within days as billionaire owner Mark Zuckerberg keeps his promise to make 2023 a 'year of efficiency' for the firm.

The parent company of Facebook and Instagram is plotting a fresh round of layoffs after 11,000 jobs were axed in November.

Morale among some staff is rock bottom and many are worried they won't receive their bonuses if they lose their jobs.

But Meta's stock price has surged about 54 percent since the start of the year as investors welcome the cull. The rise follows a dismal 2022 throughout which the value of the company, which also owns WhatsApp, plunged by around two thirds.

Insiders told Bloomberg that executives working on the latest round of job losses want the plan ready before Zuckerberg takes parental leave for his third child, which is due imminently.

IFC Films shared a new Paint poster for the upcoming comedy movie, which stars Owen Wilson as a public television painter that looks a lot like Bob Ross.

Alongside Wilson, Paint also stars Michaela Watkins, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ciara Renee, Lusia Strus, Stephen Root, and Lucy Freyer. Written and directed by Brit McAdams, the movie focuses on Wilson’s Carl Nargle, a public television painter that suddenly finds himself out of the spotlight.

Check out the new Paint poster below:

“In Paint, Owen Wilson portrays Carl Nargle, Vermont’s #1 public television painter who is convinced he has it all: a signature perm, custom van, and fans hanging on his every stroke… until a younger, better artist steals everything (and everyone) Carl loves,” reads the official synopsis for the upcoming film.

Paint is currently slated to release in theaters on April 7, 2023, and runs 96 minutes.

Norfolk Southern train collides with dump truck in Cleveland, Ohio, killing at least 1: reports

Story by Danielle Wallace • 3h ago

ANorfolk Southern employee died Tuesday morning when a train collided with a dump truck in Cleveland, Ohio, according to reports.

Cleveland police told WKYC that its accident investigation unit responded to 2615 W. 3rd Street "for a crash involving a vehicle striking a train with a fatality."

The collision reportedly occurred while a Norfolk Southern train was passing through a Cleveland-Cliffs Cleveland Works property around 1:19 a.m.

"As a result of the collision, a Norfolk Southern employee lost his life," a spokesperson for Cleveland-Cliffs, a flat-rolled steel producer and supplier of iron ore pellets, told WKYC. "The location is being controlled by Cleveland police and Norfolk Southern."

WOIO also reported Cleveland-Cliffs confirmed the death of the Norfolk Southern employee but did not provide an update on the condition of the dump truck operator.

Fox News Digital reached out to Norfolk Southern and Cleveland-Cliffs for more information.

Norfolk Southern announced plans on Monday to improve the use of detectors placed along railroad tracks to spot overheating bearings and other problems in response to the Feb. 3 fiery derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.

In Pennsylvania, Gov. Josh Shapiro also announced Monday that Norfolk Southern has pledged several million dollars to cover the cost of the response and recovery in Pennsylvania after last month’s derailment.

The company previously announced more than $1 million for Ohio to replace fire equipment used in the response to the fiery wreck, plus $1 million for East Palestine and more than $1.2 million for evacuation costs for nearly 900 families and businesses.

Emmy-winning former NBC medical correspondent Dr Bruce Hensel, 71, is given two years' probation for asking his friend's nine-year-old daughter for 'sexually suggestive' photographs

Former NBC medical correspondent Dr. Bruce Hensel has been sentenced to two years probation for asking for 'sexually suggestive' photos from a child

Hensel, 71, pleaded no contest Monday to charges he solicited nude pictures from the daughter of a friend who was just nine-years-old

He was arrested in 2019 when transcripts of his texts to the child were released

The former chief on-air medical correspondent for NBC was sentenced to two years probation Monday on charges that he asked a nine-year-old for 'sexually suggestive' photos.

Dr. Bruce Hensel, 71, was arrested in 2019 after accusations surfaced that he texted the daughter of a friend and asked her for nude pictures.

On Monday, the doctor pleaded no contest to the charges which included solicitation of nude photos from a minor.

Transcripts of the text messages included in the filing submitted to the state Medical Board in 2022 found that Hensel asked for pictures that were 'sexy and private.'

'Dr. Bruce, you crossed the line and violated the vow of your profession, which is to cause no harm,' the father of the victim said in court on Monday, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Hensel apologized and spoke about his faith in court while asking for forgiveness.

'I'm terribly sorry for what happened. I've done everything I can to understand this isolated thing,' Hensel said.

The doctor has repeated his claims that the incident was a one-time thing.

The victim's father at one point said Hensel had betrayed his calling in the medical profession but that the family overall forgives him.

The dad acknowledged the work Hensel has done to improve and recover and expressed his hope the doctor will one day be able to help people again the way he did 'as a physician.'

Hensel ultimately hugged the father after giving his apology.

In their presentation to the Medical Board, officials said Hensel had texted the child repeatedly between March and August 2019.

The doctor knew the young girl through her mother and was discussing financing a movie that would star the nine-year-old.

'I have always been good special friends and you feel safe with me so I will protect you and get you something,' Hensel wrote in 2019. 'They could maybe make you a star if you are willing to take some risks.'
