After many years of doing things like the above... when people do not
name names it just makes things worse. If one is upset enough to bring
something up then one is already looking to play the blame game.
Everything else is passive aggressive bull malarky.

The only additional advice I have is that when a person has reached
the stage where all they expect is things to get worse.. it is time to
leave. It is no fun to be around a person like that, it is no fun for
that person, and it all becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
