firstly, do your job accurately and on time (better ahead of dealines). usually there is an annual performance evaluation, hence you will know when your boss calls you to discuss your performance

You don't have to be happy with your job to do good work. Nor do you have the ability to do a job to enjoy it. However, if you are well trained, treated fairly, like some of your co-workers, and enjoy it then you will perform at a higher level going beyond what is just acceptable to excellence. Good for you and good for the company.

always be professional, that way they can never complain about you.\n(always be in a position in which you're covered.)\n\nSpeak to your immediate boss about it, see if she can't first talk to the co-workers about it. \n\nAlso check out a book called "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work."

Show up prepared to remind others about your accomplishments.  If possible be ready to measure them with hard numbers (percentage efficiency improved, revenue earned, expenses cut, etc.)\n\nBe honest.  Try to be objective about your strengths as well as areas needing growth.  \n\nBe mature in your responses to criticism, don't overreact.  If you disagree with an assessment, say so but don't get emotional about it.\n\nAbove all, walk in with the attitude that you are a valuable asset to the Company.

Set the mf up.  Make up something outrageous and when your boss asks you about it just laugh it off.  Keep doing that and he/she will either stop or get fired.

I work in a small office as well sounds to me that she doesn't look at the possitve side of things negativity and whining can spread like wildfire. Just say oh that is too bad and say something cheery. All problems should be unloaded at the front door. Work is work and to perform up to your best ability you have to do that and pick up the problems again at the end of the day. Don't ask how are you just say hi move the convo to t.v or a joke you heard. Isn't a pretty day so forth good luck.

(1) Find at least one positive thing in each of the people that work with. And concentrate on that one thing to exclude the 99 other things that they do that activate your negative feelings. The 'one thing' could be as trivial as the pleasing colour of their shoes. (2) Choose to work well with a colleague who is the least incompetent/disorganised of the group you work with; as you build trust and success with this colleague, word might spread and your colleagues may learn that they have to adapt their behaviour in order to obtain your (valued) assistance. (3) Create an anchor to obtain a state of calmness to maintain your composure when the office situation deteriorates - see the link below

Yes, you want to stand. Standing will give the appearance that you are confident person,look them in the eye and have something warm to say to them while shaking their hand. Don't say the usual greeting others in your department have already said, say something unique.  When you stand your appearance is eye to eye. In a power position you don't want others to look down on you, and they will if you are sitting. Remember to shake hands firmly. Practice with your husband. A wimpy handshake can also leave your reputation as being soft.\nThese are opportunities for your boss to notice you. You would be a fool not to take advantage of them. Don't worry about the mistakes you have made, there will be many more opportunities for you to shine!

The best way to make the work place a better one is to be nice to your coworkers.  You do not have to be their best friend, but you have to be there and get the job done.  You may find the a work day will go a lot quicker if you are a plesant and decent person.\n\nAre you doing something inapropriate that would make a fellow worker report it to a supervisor?  There should be no fear in anything you do at work if it is what you should be doing.  Do a good job and you may just get commended for doing that job well.  If you do well, the company does well, and if that is so, pay raises are also possible for a job well done.

If it is at work, maybe go to the personnel department and talk it over with someone....or talk to people who are completely out of the situation and will not tell what you say.\n\nDevelop a plan to get out of there...document everything you do in case they accuse you of something. Carefully develop an alliance with someone there getting their approval of you, without telling them you have a problem..for example if your boss is mean, and there is someone else that has authority there too, impress them with how nice or good you are, and get their approval.  Sometimes one authority figure will speak positive things to the other and help to change their mind.\n\nSit tight and be careful...ask God to help you..

I would say, learn everything there is to know about your job.  Make it so that you are the one your boss always relies on to do his work.  Then take all of that experience that you have used them for and find yourself a better job.  When you hand in your two week notice, your boss will freak out at the thought of not being able to find someone like you.  They'll start making you all kinds of offers so you wont leave, but you keep saying "NO".  It's a great feeling.

First, get a big club.  Walk around the office with it.  People will start to fear you.  Thats a key component of being a leader.  Next, Do not speak unless all are hushed and at attention.  This shows that you respect yourself, and will make others respect you.  If a few of your coworkers begin having a side conversation during your speech, club them.  Strike them quickly and without remorse.  Also, always ask for input when you are thru with your presentation, this gives your coworkers the idea that you care what they think, whether or not you actually do.

Do a good job, be respectful, and enjoy your work. Just do the best you can, and remember it's a two-way street...Your boss has to meet you half-way and make his/her own efforts to build a good relationship with you. So, if you are doing your best, then don't beat yourself up over it. After all, you are doing all you can.

Make use of your boss as a resource to learn how to do your job.  Carry a notepad with you and after you ask them a question, WRITE IT DOWN.  This way you'll be able to refer to it and not annoy them by having to ask them again.\n\nAlso, try to figure out (either by asking or talking to co-workers) what you boss's major priorities and biggest problems are.  Then make sure you adopt a strategy that makes you useful to your boss in tackling those priorities.

Wear something that would cheer you up.  Your favourite colour, for example.  Dress really nice...look like a million bucks, and when the compliments start rolling in from your co-workers, you won't feel so down anymore.

I think it is not wrong.  Your boss would have no problem complaining about your performance.  I think you should talk to your boss about your issues and document in a notebook the date/time/response of the conversation.  Sometimes the incompetent ones set u up to be fired!

Unfortunately, not much (assuming you're NOT in a terminate at-will state and NOT in a union).\nProbably the only thing is could show your boss how much you LOVE your job and how you LOVE the customers and LOVE treating them right. Be OPENLY ENTHUSIASTIC. Bosses find it hard to terminate people who feel that way (unless you really screw up)
