more bleeding and some promoting

So I found out yesterday that another of our engineers is fleeing to Google. He's one of the last of the 'old team' and his contributions are going to be *sorely* missed. Damn you Google! On the other end of the spectrum, we've decided to promote on of the sales critters to VP of Sales. I have to say that this move makes sense to me, though it does put us down a sales critter. And apparantly we've decided to not replace the departed CTO. Instead, we've promoted a PM into the newly-revived Dir of Engr position. So I have a new boss after all, but not as high up in the food chain. Quite honestly, the jury is out on this move. I like the guy, but it will be interesting to see if he's 'too intimate' w/ Engr to see what is wrong with it. It's very hard to see the issues when you are really close to something. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
