After 10 years with the Wild, director of team operations Andrew Heydt and the Wild have mutually agreed to part ways, I’m told. Heydt had accused Bill Guerin of verbal abuse. The Wild investigated via third party law firm but declined to publicly disclose the findings

This is so weird
I doubt how mutual this is, I wish he would sue the organization for everything it’s worth.
*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*
Sad to see, but understandable. I’ve been in workplace situations where “not a fireable offense” was still making my life hell every day. I hope he does well in his next gig.
Too bad, Heydt seemed well liked by the players and did a great job organizing the alumni event this summer. I don’t blame him though, if he’s getting belittled by BG, that’s not healthy for neither party nor the employees having to navigate the Heydt/BG tension.
As someone who’s worked kitchen lines for almost 20 years when I see people complain about verbal abuse from their boss I roll my eyes. Like in high stress jobs like that people are gonna be HARD on you. I wonder just how bad Billy’s being or if these people just have very thin skin
Whatever exactly happened, I say thank you to Andrew Heydt for his many years of service to the Wild organization! I’ve been in that situation before and no one should have to be berated at work either. Hopefully Guerin will use this as a learning experience.
I could absolutely see Guerin being a dick boss. Good luck to Andrew.
I guess it was just a “fuck off” comment? Mustn’t have been that bad.
I’m sure he was a nice guy but this is now the second round of this. After they ran Fenton out of town it sounds like there are a lot of entrenched lifers in the organization that are comfortable with how things were before.
