And they take your stapler.

From your e-mail, I'd say you are suffering from more than three. Check out the list and see if you agree.
1. You don't fit in. Your values don't match the company's.
2. Your boss doesn't like you and you don't like him or her.
3. Your peers don't like you. Feeling isolated, gossiped about, and excluded from the inner workings of the organization is a very bad sign, as is feeling that you're not part of the team and wouldn't socialize with your colleagues even if they asked you.
4. You don't get assignments that demonstrate the full range of your abilities.
5. You always get called upon to do the "grunt work." 6. You are excluded from meetings your peers are invited to. Sound familiar? If it's painfully clear that your ideas aren't valued, why stick around?
7. Everyone on your level has an office. You have a cubicle in the hallway.
8. You dread going to work and feel like you're developing an ulcer. Ah, here's yet another of your symptoms, and a particularly nasty one at that.
"If the idea of going to the office makes you anxious or physically sick, and you're counting the hours from the time you arrive until the second you can leave, it's time to move on," says Bayer.

Your coffee tastes like pi$$?
Some of those points do seem a bit familiar, but not because they describe myself.
It seems to me that I’ve seen it all, and the post makes a lot of sense.
I think that I’ll share this article with a few friends.
Thanks
#9. Your boss demands that you snap to attention, salute and shout “Seig Heil!” whenever they walk by.
If your key no longer opens the door, you might be on your way out.
If you’re no longer in the company directory, you might be on your way out.
And they take your stapler.
If your nice ergonomic desk chair has been moved into a break room and replaced by a cardboard box, you might be on your way out.
That said, I've been 7 out of the 8 for over 25 years, most of it on the 12AM to whenever-I'm-done-after-7AM shift.
Most days...nights...are 10 hours long and I AM NOT making tons o' money, but I enjoy - and am good at - what I do LOL!

#9. You work in an office of stinking, slime ball Marxist’s liberal socialist leftist pigs who vote Dimocrat and love abortion and homosexuals and hate the USA and the military. After a few short years, I told them to kiss my ass and left WA state and came home to Alabama. Man, that sweet smell of freedom.
My peers like me, I like them. I do feel excluded from the inner workings of the company. I haven't felt this kind of isolation in any other work place. Some of it comes with the territory but this place is a bit weird.
Socializing for real? or for buisiness gain?
I wish work was a party but its not. There is an unspoken commraderie though, that makes it tolerable, That and the fact that we believe in what we do.
If your boss refers to you as ‘that idiot’, you might be on your way out.
“I have never ever been fired or laid off from any job that I have ever held.”
You’ve not been in IT, or radio/TV, or Clergy, have you? I’ve done all 3.
After a while, you get good at constantly looking for a job. The resume is always current, and always on Monster, etc.
Personally, I’d rather be fired by an evil employer (and they are out there) than be praised by them.
L0L!
Im gonna need you to work this weekend... MMmmm kay...
Thats Grreat...
It’s on now! Comedy Central!
Wow. I’m experiencing all of those...and I’m the manager of my office!
I once worked for a woman who had a sign in her office. It said, “I don’t like it here either, but I own the place.”
Kick em in the nuts ;0)
Tuning in! A damned modern Classic!
Tuning in! A damned modern Classic!
If you are the first person everyone thinks of whenever anything goes wrong, you might be on your way out.
BTW Jennifer Anniston is funny
