In situations like this, its normal to think that your own behavior is faultless, and that the &quot;others&quot; are conspiring to screw you over.<p>In reality, its usually <i>you</i> that is the problem. For whatever reason, the people in power don&#x27;t view you as a key player. They may even be hoping you&#x27;ll leave.<p>Situations like this are pretty much unrecoverable, so best to look for another job.<p>But, do think hard about where you went wrong, so that the same thing doesn&#x27;t happen again.
