Standing on principle and keeping your conscience clean is important. This talks about being like the squirrel preparing for winter. One thing that is not mentioned and I have personally used. If you do not have a large nest egg. Just quietly look around for another job. When you have that in place if needed. Then you are in the position of not being trapped by confronting what is bothering you. If you find they do not want to listen then simply move to the new job. If they listen and make a correction of course you have both won.
