Are you a likeable person?

I am not. I kinda understand, I know I'm different. I really don't care except it always bites me at work. I don't understand why. I am on time, don't call out, do my job efficiently and I'm a team player. Nobody ever tells me what I'm doing wrong, I just feel retaliated against. My bosses will suddenly treat me like I have the plague. My hours get cut. It's an overall feeling of not belonging. Bordering on rudeness directed at me. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. But I guess I have to find a different job now.

I am a likeable person, but I also know I can be hard to deal with for some people. My friends are guys I can call at 2:00 am and they will show up to help. My downfall with most people is I say what I think is right, not what they want to hear.

I am not sure if my boss is the right person to base whether I change jobs or not. Like you, I sometimes feel invisible to my boss. I work remotely; I talk to my boss maybe a few times over the year. I see email and text conversations with others in my position, my boss spends more time communicating with others because they need more direction, encouragement, whatever. Being left alone to do my job sometimes leaves me feeling left out, the upside to that is that my boss doesn't feel a need to correct what I am doing or get involved in performance of my job.
