I realized in myself that the number 3 tool of "Turn Complaints into Solutions", with the intent to "eliminate the kind of mindless complaining that doesn't serve a greater purpose and allow compalining that is justified and worthwhle [sic]", only works so long as once the complaint has been made, that someone actually listens or at the very least, acknowledges your concerns and maybe even offer good counterpoints. But when presenting a solution that is not acknowledged or listened to, a person can quickly spiral into mindless complaining. This is especially true if you were right in the first place. Instead of a creating a solution-oriented employee, a company can quickly create complainers who always mumble "If they had listened to me, we wouldn't have to spend $X to fix it". In short, the company culture has to allow complaints to be heard and acknowledged as much as the employee should not complain mindlessly.
