Memo to HR: My Coffee Needs a Raise

Memo to HR: My Coffee Needs a Raise

Because the only thing keeping you from rage-quitting is what’s in your mug.

Let’s be honest: your coffee does more for company morale than your manager ever has. It shows up early. It keeps you focused through Zoom marathons. It listens when you scream internally at your inbox. And yet—despite its dedication—it’s still treated like a disposable intern with a bad attitude and worse benefits.

It’s time to admit what we’ve all known deep down:
Your coffee deserves a raise.

Let’s Talk Performance

Your brew has a 100% attendance record. It’s reliable. It doesn’t gossip by the copier or send 3-paragraph emails that could be one sentence. It doesn’t demand meetings about meetings. It just… works. Unlike Gary from Sales.

The office coffee machine? That ancient relic sputtering out burnt brown sadness? That’s not coffee. That’s a cry for help in liquid form.

You deserve more. And so does your mug.

Coffee That Works Overtime

At Squawk Boss Coffee Company, we roast for the real MVPs: overworked humans and the cups that carry them. Your morning blend shouldn’t taste like despair. It should taste like freedom, dignity, and maybe a hint of cinnamon if you're into that.

Every cup should feel like a small rebellion against the corporate overlords and their fluorescent-lit tyranny. It’s a tiny protest in every sip. A liquid “nope” to unpaid overtime.

HR Won’t Fix This—We Will

Sure, you could fill out a suggestion form. Or you could upgrade to coffee that actually gives a damn.

Whether you're dodging eye contact in the breakroom or pretending to take notes in a meeting, you deserve a brew that matches your energy: bold, bitter (when necessary), and surprisingly smooth under pressure.

So no offense to HR, but they’re not going to fix this. We are. One strong roast at a time.
