Donating YT 14K Club Member | Everyone needs to vet every once in a while! Just makes you feel better. Don't even think twice about what those people said. I got in trouble with my boss because I didn't smile and laugh enough. Mind you, I work in a high school taking care of 2,000+ students. I was too busy to talk and be sociable. But, I got called into his office for it. So, ya just can't win them all. I started being REAL OUTGOING after that, but it wasn't the real me. I felt like I had to put on a show even though I didn't have time for it.

| Many years ago, people did the same to me. They would ask me what was wrong. What was right was that I was busy doing my job on the stack of files on my desk. I used to close my office door so that I could concentrate and not be distracted by the chattering in the office but they could see me through the ceiling to floor glass panel on the side of my door. Oh well . . . I earned my paycheck and did my job well! No one ever had to second guess my work and it was always correct! When you're handling multi-million dollar accounts, there is no room for error. Don't let them get you down. Office politics suck!

| I am a manager and an owner of a small business and I used to give my staff a lot of say in the decision making aspects so they would feel a sense of pride and want to do a better job, and also I did it to be liked. I thought if I listened to their ideas and didn't micro manage that everything would work better. I was wrong! Women especially are naturally catty and there will always be "cliques" and politics and no matter how hard you try you will never please everyone. Now, I just try to please myself and my husband. My employees respect me more and, they may not like me, but in my position, their respect is more important. |

I sort of had the same situation but mine was for diffrerent reasons. My old boss told me I never smiled and they said I had bad posture. Well guess what? I HATED that job. So I quit workign there and all of a sudden I stood up straighter and smiled more . I am not suggeseting that for you. Like I said I didnt smile because I hated my boss and my job. And besides why smile? I was underpaid and had NO benefits( not even holidays off) and its not like I ever actually dealt with customers. I worked at an accouting office. What was there to smile about? They made me so mad everyday . But now I am my own boss . There's something to smile about . Hope you have better days at work!

| Unfortunately politics is everywhere... I am not a b*tt kisser and it has hurt me in my "career" My boss didn't like me and when she gave me my written eval a long time ago and the neg comment she said was "I tested too much" (I was a software tester). I was like give me a break! Isn't that my job? She didn't like me because I didn't "hang out" with her and her clique during lunch and after hours. ugh! Luckily I moved out of her group and into a new one a few weeks later. But since it was an eval it was in my records. I can't give you much advice only to say, hang in there and sometimes when things seem like they are so bad there may be a rainbow around the corner...

I got in trouble at work once cause I joke around TOO much...The high-point was after a particularly GREAT joke...(I made a bumper sticker saying "Proud to be Gay" and put it on a salesmans car).... (he was one of those macho straight stud guys) ...Anyway....after THAT one - I got the lecture on not taking my job serious enough....it was done on my lunch hour too ... The answer I had and still would say was that ....I DID my job - I had no problems with anyone - and in order for me to continue to DO MY JOB - I had to be ME. An unhappy person always worried about other people will NOT do a good job - The best employee is one who is able to be natural at work - do their best... and not what other people are saying....Period. Within 2 years I went from receptionist to being secretary to the Pres of the company till it closed down 4 years ago.... But if I were you - I'd come to work totally opposite and see how fast they want the old you back !

| I can relate to this. I worked for the government for 25 years. I was told once that I didn't know how to play the game. I responded by telling my supervisor that "Nope, don't play and don't want to learn, but I can sleep at night". Didn't get my annual raise, so I retired. Good to Vent or Retire.
