Today, I got reprimanded by my boss for smiling and laughing too much. Last week, he reprimanded me for not smiling and laughing enough. FML
I agree, your life sucks 27 248
You deserved it 1 880

It sounds as if he just wants to get rid of you. Time to seek another position.

Ask him to formally write out a quota sheet on how many times in a day he expects you to laugh and smile.

Just have to practice until you get the right balance

Your boss simply does not like you, OP. Start looking for another job.

Then that job is not for you. You should be able to be yourself and not be judged for it.

You might want to get another job if he keeps this up

Look for another job then quit that one in the most spectacular fashion you can imagine

By now, you must have come to the conclusion to tone it down to a shit eating grin and a snicker. Since thats half-assed, you'll probably get promoted.

Could be worse...my boss tried to rape me to prove I could do a desk job in a wheel chair...

Sounds like my work place. There is no winning. One second they want one thing, the next they want the complete opposite and act like you're incompetent for not keeping up with their whims. I just do what I think is best and smile and nod when they reprimand me.
