Even though Glenn Beck fired 30 percent of his staff at his dwindling media enterprise the Blaze Thursday afternoon, he still managed to keep his personal chef on the company payroll.
The Daily Beast reported that employees who were related to Becks close friend Robert Shelton managed to escape the bloodbath of job cuts, including Roberts son Matthew Shelton, who is Becks personal chef.
Another family member who managed to survive the mass layoffs was Sheltons daughter Bailey, who kept her job as a makeup artist.
In a meeting with the remaining employees of the company Thursday, Beck stressed that the job cuts he made were strictly for business reasons and not for any personal reasons.
There are no sacred cows, no friends of Glenn, Beck said, a witness of the meeting told the Beast. Nobody is here because theyre good at kissing my ass.
This is not the first time Beck laid off a large number of employees. In April 2016, Beck laid off 40 employees of the site to satisfy the requirements of a multi-million-dollar bank loan Beck took out to keep his struggling media enterprise afloat.

The loan came around the same time Beck purchased a $200,000 Maybach sedan and a private jetliner.
The struggling conservative media enterprise has had issues over the past three years with declining ad revenue, a sharp drop in web traffic and subscribers, less reach for the television network as cable distributors dropped the subscription-only channel from their lineups, and management troubles.

I will say one thing Beck has over Trump. Beck is willing to Fire 1/3 of his staff.
Let them eat cake!
Geese, leave him alone, would ya. A guy’s gotta.
Well, SOMEbody’s got to keep that bowl of M&Ms full. You don’t expect a high-powered exec like Glenn Beck to perform such menial tasks, do you?
Unless he has medical or medication issues, this chef has let him down. He’s porked up over the past year.

It’s his company. Who gives a hoot what he does with his money.
Bi-polar and Borderline Personality Disorder. My armchair guess.
Who needs The Blaze when you have /Pol/News!!
Now if we can work the same magic with Drudge it would be sweet. Speaking about eating cake.
....and Fox News is like a snowball headed for hell!
I’m glad Glenn has his priorities in order.
That’s the dumbest comment of the day
I say we should just ignore this attention addict.
The hard part is figuring out why ANYONE would continue to work for him.
...but then I know the answer: It’s because they want to ‘make a difference’ (i.e., the sick rationale that the Snowflake Generation uses to justify doing just about anything).
Trump doesn’t have 1/3 of his staff approved yet.
The fry cook stays!
The man has gotto eat, doesn’t he?
