Mets dumping head of HR, general counsel after review of workplace culture
NY Post
The day of reckoning arrived for the Mets Monday amidst a turbulent first go-round for the Steve Cohen Era.
The hedge-fund magnate Cohen, who purchased the team last fall, announced in an internal email that two longtime, high-ranking employees, general counsel David Cohen and senior vice president of human resources and diversity Holly Lindvall, would be let go following a transition period. The firings resulted from an internal review of the team’s culture by the law firm WilmerHale in the wake of a slew of off-the-field sexual harassment controversies. The email, a copy of which was obtained by The Post, makes clear that team president Sandy Alderson, who took accountability for the two most high-profile imbroglios, is viewed as part of the solution. Alderson, as per Cohen’s words, has started a weekly email to all employees as part of an initiative to increase communication and transparency.More Related News
