Burn Notes

✍️ POST CONTENT:

You ever been invited to a company “holiday celebration” that felt more like a spiritual ambush?

We were promised Thanksgiving.

What we got was a card table, cold stuffing, and a group text that ended with:

“Water is provided.”

That line hit harder than a budget cut.

That’s not hospitality—it’s a thirsty cry for help.

And that’s exactly why we made this candle.

🕯️ What It Smells Like:

Recycled air and beige walls

Old crockpot sadness

The ghost of last year’s PTO request

A manager saying, “Y’all be grateful” from their private office

🎯 Who It’s For:

This isn’t a candle for joy.

This is a candle for showing up out of obligation.

For eating cold mac and cheese off a flimsy paper plate while someone says,

“You know, I think this is really nice.”

It’s for:

The overworked

The overlooked

The ones who bring the real emotional flavor to the office—but still got asked to “bring utensils”

📦 Why It Had to Exist:

We don’t make candles for peace.

We make candles for pain.

And corporate holiday parties?

That’s a battlefield.

So the next time someone asks what you're thankful for at work,

light this candle, stare into the flame, and say nothing.

Because the answer was in the group text.

Water is provided.
