Mikisiw Sporting Goods Manufacturers is an established company that has been in operation for over 15 years. They are well known for their quality fishing equipment and in recent years they have expanded their products to golfing and tennis equipment.

Consequently, the conflict between younger and older employees has lead to a problem within the company that has developed into arguments, walkouts, poor job communication and even rumored fights during after work hours.
