Your options are: 1) leave, 2) attempt to unionize, or 3) suck it up. If you leave, you can do a half-ass job at transitioning your work and take your knowledge with you, but it's unlikely the bosses care about that or even notice. It's unlikely that you can successfully unionize, but if you do, the bosses will really appreciate the repercussions of their actions.
> How do I go about daily tasks when I keep asking myself "why bother?"
You said it yourself: you feel betrayed by all the people you're working for. Do the bare minimum expected of you, and save your energy for planning your next step.
