> Something I heard at my corporate job: "Bring solutions, not complaints." It's a great rule of thumb to follow.

It's fantastic if they give you time to explore solutions, more often than not it can be translated to "work out a solution without pay on your own time and we'll consider adopting it". And even then the solution has to be obviously better and they have to be able to acknowledge the problem in the first place instead of saying "we've always done it that way".

"Bring solutions not complaints" is just corporate BS for "stop complaining".
