    European here, if you’re getting employed, it’s expected that you’re provided with everything necessary to work. Anything else is capitalist exploitation of the workers, and a systematic attempt to keep the impoverished poor.

    The only time it’s acceptable to be expected to bring your own tools is if someone is contracting you to do a specific job.

    In other words, you don’t need to provide the necessary tools if you’re calling in a plumber to unclog your toilet, but it most certainly is if you’re opening up a plumbing agency and hiring plumbers.

      hiring plumbers

      There’s your mistake, you don’t hire the plumbers, you contract them!
