Gregory is so stressed out about work because he has to wake up at five every morning and the job its self is very stressful. As a salesman you have to travel a lot and it is hard to keep long lasting relationships with people. All of the money he earns goes directly to paying off his parents debt, which means he has no spending money for himself. Gregor's boss is ridiculously strict which was shown by the fact that Gregor missed work once in five years and his boss flips out about it, which causes a stressful state for Gregor. Also Gregor complained about how is co-workers can gossip about him and he has no way to defend him self from their accusations. He also needs to pay off his parents debt which causes even more stress. All this stress makes him feel like a zombie and does whatever he is told to do.(zombie=dehumanized)
Another set of things that make him feel dehumanized is his family. His father doesnt seem like he cares about Gregor very much. When he came to get Gregor out of his room he raised his voice at him instead of asking what was wrong because Gregor could have been sick. Then when Gregor turns into a bug his dad starts hitting him and making him go back into the room.
