I'd much rather be liked than disliked, but recognize that not everyone will like me. That's the way it is for just about all of us, I think. The good news is that if you are routinely respectful and considerate of others, most people will be okay with you. Don't concern yourself too much with the minority who have negative feelings about you.

@Vivaci I'm not suggesting that co-workers or the boss should be ignored. That probably isn't possible or advisable in most work situations. However, it probably is possible to limit most interactions with hostile co-workers to work-related matters. Casual conversations that have nothing to do with work aren't typically a job requirement as far as I know.
