Another Note Or Two On Brian Cunningham Being Let Go From Wizard

* I think it's pretty safe to say that Brian Cunningham being let go from Wizard, where he currently served as Executive Editor, apparently had primary editor duties on the magazine, and where he had been since the early days of the company, has been generally confirmed by insiders and widespread agreement if not specifically confirmed by the company, or to my awareness yet by Mr. Cunningham. There's even a thread about it on the Wizard boards.

* I'm also told that Alex Kropinak and Jordan Hammill, two more recent hires, were recently let go -- this had been reported, actually, just not by me. ToyFare Price Guid Editor Jon Guttierez may have given notice yesterday, too. Other employees that may no longer be with the company were described to me as "Regan M., Matt C., and Carolyn F."

* I've also been told that Cunningham being let go was a surprise to the entire staff and several ex-staffers, and there was a rumor among the ex-staffers that the current staff was given the rest of the day off.
