WHY DON’T WE SPEAK UP?

Don’t want to appear paranoid – there is a difference between being paranoid

and being aware

Don’t want to be labeled a rat Afraid to challenge people Feel supervisor or professor should report it Feel they should mind their own business Fear of being accused of blowing things out of proportion Fear of confrontation Conflict & confidentiality – “No one will trust me” Thought they were joking Disbelief that it is happening Examples: Old Ft.
