It is time to bid adieu to our friend Jesse Alex Chasick who has been with Consumerist since August 2007.

Alex started off as an email intern, before eventually moving up to becoming an associate editor on the site, penning such memorable posts as the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory saga, a feature on mandatory binding arbitration in the style of a Choose Your Own adventure story,
and his 4705 digg-earning “Best Buy Calls Cops On You For Telling Fellow Customer Jawbone Headset Is Overpriced, Sucks.”

He’s not far, though, Alex is working for with the Consumers Union advocacy office (Consumers Union owns Consumerist) in D.C., where he helps lobby to bring about pro-consumer legislative change.

Best wishes, Alex.
