Martha Stewart is recovering from the loss of her CEO to rival Gwyneth Paltrow by axing up to 50 employees.
The cuts will hit the sales and marketing departments at Martha Stewart Omnimedia hardest while some workers will be moved to Meredith Corporation.
Last week, the 73-year-old's former CEO Lisa Gersh was hired by Paltrow's lifestyle company GOOP, which is currently engaged in a vicious media war with Martha's brand. But staffers were shocked to find out the news because the layoffs had been such a well-kept secret, a source told the New York Daily News.
It's not the first time Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia has shaken things up in a significant way.
Last year, nearly 100 people were handed pink slips just before the holiday season, and in 2012 the company let 70 workers go in November.

As far as I am concerned, both of these harpies can go straight to hell.
GOOP is like ebola.
GOOP was named after what Gweneth literally does to “cleanse” herself....If you shake her hand you better be prepared to be quarantined. Assuming the 11 beds are not is use in the whole country.
What did she axe them?
Two flaming liberals cat-fighting. How much better can this get?
What I don’t understand is why Felon Stewart would fire 50 employees
because she lost a CEO?
Gwyneth used to be fairly attractive. Those days are long past. She’s below average now.
Thank you; I need to read something light and funny.
She is nothing more than a life support system for a vagina.
Imagine living in Gwyneth Paltrow’s world......
ugh
That’s a shame.
You come up with some real zingers. I am a female and I think that’s funny. LOL. Can I borrow it?
Well I hope she’s taking better care of that than the rest of herself.
Reality is one step in front of The Onion these days ...
Smart move Martha, get rid of sales and marketing....NOT>
Paltrow and goop, what is she doing collecting the crap that oozes out of hollywood celebrities ears and selling it..................... Dear Lord I hope it’s only what oozes out of their ears!
Seems like that’s a fail, since her husband left her for a pretty young girl with a sense of humor.
Maybe she’s a life support system for a website.
Please do, it’s not my original. But it sure applies at times.
Martha’s a tough, smart, professional cookie. And she has what Gwyneth lacks: a real knowledge of cookery. She may not be nice but who expects an entrepreneur of over 30 years to be nice?
Of course, her time may have passed - but to pass it to icky Gwyneth? I hope this signals the rise of Nigella Lawson.
I'm trying to eat here.
What did she axe them?
