Certainly, things have a tendency to get worse before they get better.
 But these things don't tend to get better when you stay silent... I
learnt that the hard way and lost a job because of it.  What works,

trying to fight these things, with all the help you can get, than
trying to run away from something faster and more powerful than you.
