eating workplace shit

An expression used to describe the commonplace employee experience when a state or federal agency hires folks because of their advanced degrees and licensure and then gradually eases them, after the honeymoon phase, into what feels like slave labor, and retains them, due to steady and therefore relatively decent pay, frequent paid days off and a seemingly cushy pension.
I am a doctor who has been eating workplace shit for more than a decade, but after this period of indentured servitude and gradually increasing mental and physical illness, I have stepped halfway off the pirate ship and hope to be vigorously swimming soon.
