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

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

Doomed if you do. Doomed if you don't.

Florida, eh? I'm sure we'll be seeing another "Florida man..." headline soon then.

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"
