Bill Guerin investigated for alleged abuse

[Fight4yourRight]

hopefully the organization can find more safe spaces to protect adult males from vicious words

Found the dude who berates his employees.

 

[randywoodsghost]

But apparently a lawyer involved investigation concluded it was worth a firing.

Actually they concluded the opposite.

This how rumors start people!

 

[ColbyChaos]

Guerin is known to be a POS even from his days in Pit surprised it hasn’t caught on yet

How so?

Always found it weird how he attacked a teammate and it’s just kinda.. not an issue. I guess a lot of former players did somethin dirty at some point, but that was such an ugly and obvious one. And now he’s trusted to run the whole team! That guy!

People get second chances, but we never really talked about that and now that temper is maybe still a problem.. we’ll see.

Just to be clear. This wasn't the law firm that concluded this is was Wild management, they were provided with all the evidence they had found after interviews with 15 people. Wild management concluded it wasn't a fire-able offense.

 

[Pavels Dog]

I know they’ve been mismanaged but abuse? Seems excessive.

True. God damn my post sucked.

 

[Stealth JD]

Guerin is a clown. Wild fans should hope for better.

At least he didn't go all chicago on somebody.

Why are ex players in management roles in hockey teams, anyway? Those should be left to people that have an actual leadership education. Ex hockey players should be coaches or other related jobs. Makes no sense. They don't have any kind of qualifications for work like this.

I knew an Edmonton bar owner who interacted frequently with Billy G while in Edmonton. He said he was a nice guy, but he could tell you wouldn't want to cross him.

Yeah guys like Joe Sakic or Steve Yzerman have no idea what they’re doing

 

[BlueOil]

this is the guy responsible for shipping out the bad culture and bringing in the good one right? or am i miss remembering his charades during the suter/parise debacles?

 

[tarheelhockey]

10 years has nothing to do with it. Depends on the sensitivities of the person. At this point, there’s not enough info to say it was warranted or not. But apparently a lawyer involved investigation concluded it wasn’t worth a firing.

10 years has plenty to do with it. That’s not someone who’s too sensitive to be in the pro sports environment, nor is it someone who just walked in the door yesterday as a bad fit for the organization, nor is it someone who lacks commitment to the team.

When someone sticks their neck out to potentially burn an entire decade of their professional career, there’s usually a good reason for doing that. Regardless of what a lawyer might conclude about the legal implications of such.

Valuable connections in an extremely niche and insular marketplace

Calm down Andrew Tate, I'd prefer not to work at place where I get screamed at and demeaned. It's not normal to be in that type of environment. You have a right for a safe work environment.

He yelled at a guy and that’s it? It’s a hockey club. It’s not a kindergarten.

These are normal people at a job. Are you honestly suggesting, in all seriousness, since hockey is a contact sport all employees from owner to usher should be goons? You're incredulous.

Man, I wish I was as tough as you so that I could be fine with getting bullied.

But this is almost the year 2024 and the world has gone soft. So there is that.

 

[TooManyHumans]

If people can be expected to get yelled at and not make a big deal of it, how about we also expect people to act like adults and not throw hissy fits at work? Seems reasonable.

 

[John Mandalorian]

If he gets fired, he can now say it was retaliation.

I think it's interesting how "Professional Conduct" seems to have morphed from generally carrying yourself like an adult into being responsible for the emotional states of everyone around you at all times.

Obviously adults should not yell at each other like they're the Drill Sergeant from Full Metal Jacket. That is bad behavior outside of a military training context. On the other, that we should all be so afraid of each other's feelings leads to our own walking on eggshells. There's a balance to be struck here, and posters piling in to threads to grouse about how yelling is bad mmmkay feel like they're just as much of a problem as a yeller.

If the boss is a screaming prick, that's bad. If your coworkers are a bunch of pheasants who cluck and peck at any signs of anger or personal conflict, that's also bad. Being a professional means putting your anger aside and not shouting, but it also means being able to keep your head when tensions do boil over. Nobody is impressed by the morality of dunking on a yeller, that's just being a judgemental gossip.

I had a hearty chuckle around pages 4-5 where some people were arguing about morality with a poster who clearly had a knowledge of the actual law. @ThatGuy22 well done lol
