For a couple of years now I have worked at a company with about 20 employees give or take with the churn. I am the only male; everyone else is female (a couple males churned out in a few months). I am the seniormost, most educated, most experienced, and in short the most qualified employee in the company.
I wear professional buttoned-down clothes, formal shoes, etc. every day ... like a ... person who works for a living. My coworkers show up with tight-fitting shirts, sweatpants, and slippers; once a week they show up in club-type dresses, heels, and makeup for the stage.
At this point I have become the last person to get paid; I have to remind them constantly to pay me. My office has gotten downgraded twice to a cubicle and I lost my parking spot to an intern. I'm not invited to company lunches or events anymore; not that I mind--they don't discuss work--they just drink and compare bodycounts.
I am 100% sure that none of this is conscious on the part of anyone at the company, i.e., nobody really sees how absurd this all is.
But I can't do this anymore.
Working on building a business on my own on the side; seems like a clean and stable way out whatever the future of employment holds.
This all seems like something out of the Twilight Zone; I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience.
