BULLCRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brassplate, and others, can complain about the poor equipment or anything else they wish to.
The arguement from management and, too often, other employees is that if you don't like it (ie. are complaining) then leave. Provided your complaint is legitimate and well spoken there is no reason to keep quite.
The refrain of 'leave if you don't like it' comes from those who either have no intellectual response or have no clue what they are talking about. Their simplistic response is an attempt o get people to shut up - too bad it works so often.
