Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boss suspended me for laughing too hard at my desk and causing a big scene in front of our customers. I was laughing because he'd forwarded me a hilarious email. He was practically smirking as he handed me my official warning. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for a huge screw-up that he was responsible for. FML
Today, I was disciplined by my boss for "not smiling enough." I'm a dishwasher. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for not finishing my work on time. Yesterday, she cut an hour from my schedule every day until further notice. FML
Today, I was talking to my boss at the end of an awesome internship. He said he was really satisfied with my work, and that he had considered hiring me. Turns out he decided not to because I smile too much, and it freaks him out. FML
Today, my boss fired me because of the way I laugh. Apparently it reminds him too much of his ex-wife's laugh. I'm a guy. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out for a customer complaint. The complaint was me not laughing at the customer's joke of me asking for his ID and him saying no. I'm sorry, I've been getting this "joke" a least twice a day since I started working here two years ago. FML
Today, my boss bitched me out on the sales floor for a good 10 minutes, because I wasn't "smiling the right way" for our customers. FML
Today, my boss scolded me for being too friendly to our customers and told me to back off and let them do their thing. Less than an hour after doing as he said, he scolded me again, this time for slacking off and not asking them if they needed help finding stuff. There goes my bonus. FML
Today, my boss reprimanded me for my lack of media communications skills. It would be more understandable if I weren't a janitor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Third weeks the charm. Next week will be the perfect balance

I'm thinking this has to do with balance. There is a time to be laughing and smiling and a time to seem busy and work orientated or serious. Try find a balance OP and if he still isn't pleased, talk it out with him before deciding your next step. No matter what job you're in you'll come across things or people you aren't thrilled with, finding what battles to fight will really help rest your mind :)

Sounds like my job! I just put my 2 weeks in after I found a better one. You can do the same. Don't put up with it for two years like I did. It only gets worse!

Similar thing here. At first it was "Every time I see you, you're smiling and laughing, clearly not working hard." and next "You really don't seem happy working here"
