When I was in the service, whenever someone would complain about something mundane, someone up the chain of command would always pop in and say something along the lines of “a bitching sailor is a happy sailer. It’s when they stop complaining you know there’s a problem”.

I still haven’t quite sorted that one out, nearly 2 decades on..

Tho it is true; my most recent job (that I quit for mental health reasons) near the end I tried to just keep my head down and not get fired before the 2 year mark.. kept my mouth shut about everything and avoided talking to anyone as much as possible. I was quitting because none of the issues were ever addressed when I brought them up..
