I don't blame you for feeling like that - I can relate in a different light but it amounts to the same thing.
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 !
