#4If the senior lead dev at my company would be a little more workplace invested.
What I mean by this is: it's hard to say to the higher-ups "I would really like a Resharper license or a chair that isn't broken" when you're the most junior person, and your seniors aren't saying the same.

#5Not sure if small but less work (for less money, I'm fine with that).

Like less work, less earn but more work, more earn? Is that what you mean?

Is it one of those "austerity porn" work environments?
If so, I worked at a company like that once. Such a cringe. The office furnishings were from government auctions 20+ years prior. Worst chair ever.
Also, ants fell on my desk from the ceiling all day, so my seniors thought they'd buy me ant bait which I could place anywhere I wanted.
After all that, "why is turnover so bad," they wondered...

#9I think commit to self-improvement. The real challenge lies in doing the little things on a consistent basis and by taking advantage of all opportunities to change your life – one little step at a time.

A co-worker was finally fed up with the crappy chair and bought his own. Its a gaming chair, with bright green. He also did not like his monitors, so he bought his own.
In a certain way I feel he is doing the right thing, why suffer. For a few hundred bucks he has a lot more job satisfaction.
