Former Staff of Second Best Coffee

Unfortunately, we as a staff have decided to leave Second Best Coffee effective immediately. We are calling on our community to help us in any way possible as we try to get through this extremely difficult time. Financially, some of us could be without pay for at least a week or two, this speaks to the disparity we are facing and why we had to get out.

The goal of $8000 has been set to counter the loss work and provide an average paycheck for each (former) employee. Anything helps! Even sharing!

Here is a note from our staff:

Dear valued customers and supporters,

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the decision of the staff at Second Best to resign from our positions. In recent weeks, we have unfortunately witnessed an escalation of toxic behavior within our workplace. We want to emphasize that we cannot and will not tolerate such treatment. Regrettably, the environment we once cherished has transformed into a hostile one, leaving us with no option but to take this step.

This situation has arisen as a result of behaviors that have gone unchecked and our voices disregarded. We want to make it clear that we have always been committed to providing exceptional service to the community we love. However, the deterioration of our work environment has left us with no alternative but to prioritize our own well-being and mental health.

We have taken great pride in serving you, our loyal customers, and it pains us to take this step. We value the relationships we've built and the support you've shown us over the years. Your understanding and encouragement have meant the world to us.

During this difficult time, we humbly ask for your continued support. We will soon be sharing ways in which you can help us navigate this challenging period. Your understanding, kind words, and solidarity will be invaluable as we move forward.

Thank you for being a part of our journey and for your unwavering support. We look forward to the day when we can serve you again in a healthier and more positive environment.

With gratitude,

The Former Staff of Second Best
