Who do you tell? Authorities? We have all seen how that plays out. It is ingrained, most people, especially ones that are high up have been doing this their entire adult lives so it is "normal" to them. I was treated this way so you will be treated this way. Old school mentality in a huge industry that has stars and is glamorous and sexy.
I have had people try and dress me down over the years. You get a lot of the "Do you know who I am?" conversations. And these come from nobodies, ADs or assistants editors. It never really ends well for them but I always get a lecture the next day or two and a call from upper management that the production has threatened to pull the show from us. I was on set for Big Eyes when the DIT lit into me. I shot back as he was full of #### and completely lying about everything, I had proof, but who got in #### afterwards? Yeah, me.
