  1. Hi Jeffery, you are definitely tackling some big issues in this post. Workplace abuse and the opioid crisis are both very serious problems. I’m curious to know what you think the opportunities for these two problems are. Also I think that the burger king article is amusing although it probably isn’t as comical if you have gone to that burger king.

  2. Hey Jeffery,

    The article I took most interest on was the first one pertaining to abusive workplaces in your area, because I too have this taking place in my home area. I think you accidentally forgot to type your last bullet I was very interested to see what more you had to say about the topic. Moreover, I wonder what group of people this issue most affects, because I saw you spoke about there is not any gender cohesion.

  3. Wastewater leakage at the BK Lounge is unacceptable. I can't believe that is even something that could happen. I have been in some less than satisfactory BK's before but that is awful.

    I think the first article is interesting in that I'm not sure it is a new problem. Hostility in the workplace is never a good thing, and I think there is no place for it. I can definitely see how this would affect productive flow. Great post!
