I'm going through something like that now.

Why do they pay me for my 20+ years of experience, then ignore my recommendations based on that experience? It doesn't make any sense!

Why do they have me doing things that have absolutely nothing to do with that experience? I spend half my time on a project I hate and have no interest in, and has nothing to do with my real job...which, by the way, wasn't cut back to make room for this project. (Management calls it critical work, then asks for volunteers. If it's that critical, why aren't we assigning people to do it? I didn't volunteer, I was told to do it. It's insane.)

It's really killing my motivation, as I post this during work hours... I'm actively looking and have applied for promotions in other areas just to get out of this.
