I've been using QcK mousepads for over 2 decades now. Still happy with them.

Look for another job.

Companies like that are very unlikely to change their view that engineering’s quality and sustainability practices are a perpetual waste of money.

That, and product doesn’t know what they’re doing, and they’re okay with making engineering also suffer for it.

Nor do they care in practice about the engineers getting burned out.

After you leave, when you glance back at the company at any time for the next 5+ years, you will see that they have learned pretty much nothing.

I’ve been burned out once, and I’ll never let it happen to me again, or anyone I work with. It’s like depression; it’s an indescribable experience.

Here’s one self-test to measure how burned out you are: https://www.peoplestorming.com/burnout-assessment.

• Katana - quiet, and meant as a weapon against humans
• Night vision goggles - can take advantage of the cover of night
• Water purifier - greatly simplifies one human necessity
• Body armor - will put it on whenever there's a risk

None of these are common household items, whereas some of the items on the list are, and thus, scavenged easily enough.
