Asked to buy my own tools as an employee??

Hey all

Just got my first job at a shop doing aerospace stuff and it seems like we're intended to buy and bring our own basic tools like depth gauges, micrometers, angle grinder, files, probes, etc. Every dude in the shop has a giant cart where they store all their own personal tools like they're a contractor. It seems like the only thing the tool room actually provides to do the job is the machine, cutting tools and stock.

To me, this is.. insane? I thought the whole point of being an employee is that you don't need to buy in to the business to earn some money. Some of these tools that are only barely good enough to do the job cost as much as two days wage, and I haven't heard anything about reimbursement.. but nobody at the shop seems to think it's weird and I don't have any frame of reference

Is this normal or should I gtfo
