—the pot brewed for everyone, but never good for anyone
The pot was there, half warm, half not,
A corporate gift, a bitter plot.
The grounds were cheap, the filter thin,
The breakroom mask you gather in.
You poured it black, you forced a grin,
And tasted lies where trust had been.
It promised “team,” it promised “care,”
But brewed neglect was all that’s there.
The sip was weak, the heart was too,
A coffee none would dare renew.
You drank it still, because you must.
The workplace runs on liquid dust.
A breakroom cup, a daily crime.
Betrayal, poured one pot at a time.
📜 Breakroom Betrayal – The Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Pre-Ground Coffee (cheap, generic, suspiciously old)
- 12 oz Tap Water (lukewarm loyalty)
- Brew Method: Office Drip Machine (burnt plate, eternal drip)
- Garnish: None—styrofoam cup is garnish enough
Instructions:
Scoop pre-ground coffee into a communal filter. Add water, press brew, and ignore the taste. Pour into a styrofoam cup, sip reluctantly. Complain quietly, then repeat tomorrow.
