The great Shaun Sutner @ssutner is leaving us (voluntarily!) to work for Tech Target. PS He said I could break this. Arrivederci, Shaun.

Big news: Leah Lamson, editor and 36-year T&G employee, is leaving. Fun fact: She hired me.

I appreciate the texts, emails, DMs and calls and I know journalists have a job to do but I really need to hold fast for 24 hrs to cool down
