> "Bring solutions, not complaints" was something a manager at my corporate job used to say. I have heard this before, but IMO, this is terrible advice. Identifying problems is a valuable trait, and the advice above tends to squash people's willingness to highlight a problem that they know is there, but aren't equipped to solve. People like solutions to be brought because it requires less cognition, not because it's a good strategy.
