Stop Complaining... Bring Your Own Tools To Work!

A lot of people complain that they can't get their work done because their office doesn't give them the right supplies.
One of the biggest complaints people have with their place of work is that their company has lousy tools, office supplies, furniture, and other equipment, making it hard to effectively do their job.
Instead of complaining about the tools, why not bring your own tools and supplies? Don't worry about getting reimbursed. Just buy what you need and get your job done. You'll not only get more work done, but you'll do a better job and that could lead to raises, and better opportunities down the road.
So, instead of complaining that your back hurts because they gave you a bad chair, or desk, buy your own. Instead of saying you're keyboard sticks or hurts your wrists, bring your own. Instead of saying the floor is dirty because the mop or vacuum cleaner doesn't work, bring your own. Instead of telling people you'd get more done if they only gave you a blah, blah, blah... Just get whatever you need and stop waiting for management to get the memo.
It's not unusual for a mechanic to bring his own tools, or a chef to bring their own knives, but you rarely see people do this in other professions.
If you're going to spend 8 hours a day at work, why not do whatever it takes to make the best use of that time.
