Keep in mind that when you become an expense rather than a source of revenue, the company is always looking for ways to cut costs and thus your position. Abuse by management and other employees is going to be given little attention. Boring "safe" jobs are often full of managers who wish to be somewhere else but cannot be, either due to skills or personality. In job roles where you're generating revenue, these types of managers get weeded out often as they're bad for retaining the company's revenue generating resources. Those same managers are tolerated and even seen somewhat positively in companies where the roles they supervise are expenses.
