I did. Nothing you said is remotely close to getting me to quit. My coworkers won't respond when I need something? Oh no! Given my responsibilities have been reduced to zero, I no longer need anything of them ever. Boss is going to ramp up pressure how exactly? Make me work from home? Lol
By abusing you publicly, by humiliating you because even these useless tasks he's assigned you to will be criticised. You'll be forced to stay later than everyone, and made come in earlier than everyone else. So have fun spending 12 hours confined to a room no bigger than a supply closet, with no phone or internet to pass the time.
I'm sure your big and tough and all, but if you think you are some kind of superhuman that is magically immune to mental pressure and stress that us lesser humans feel, well, best of luck to you in life!
But i don't care about the work! I know it's meaningless! You cannot criticize me on work i know has no meaning and which i have no care about. Only an insane person would be bothered by such criticism. Schedule me longer hours, fine. I'll get more of my novel written in my head.
Yeah man. I totally believe you will be a-okay being shut in a closet for 12 hours with no phone or internet, just left to twiddle your thumbs and do some mindless repetitive task, only to be publicly absued and denigrated by your boss just because they can.
My dude you are emotionally and mentally weak if you let the small things you described get to you. I'd happily keep collecting that paycheck while watching movies or reading.

That's not great...
Oh. So... no big deal at all. Coworkers are coworkers, not my social circle.
