OP is definitely in the wrong, but refusing to hear a problem unless it's accompanied by a solution is why so many businesses fail. Unless it's explicitly your job to come up with solutions for a given problem, you should not have to offer a solution. Whoever manages the aspect of the company with the problem should offer the solution.
Shutting down criticism is a fantastic way to never grow. This applies to people, business, and anything else with problems. Also, it seems that companies are never on the hook for offering solutions to their employees problems.
Poor performance? "Find a way to fix it or you're fired."
Problem with the company? "Offer a solution or shut up."
Funny how that works.
