I was once in a situation in my grad school years TA-ing for an abusive and insane faculty member. Nobody did anything until I told them they could keep my stipend for the semester and I’d pick up freelance work to pay my way.

Then suddenly I was showered with apologies and told it would be better.

Nobody ever stands up to these people, but they fold the second anybody shows a spine.
