Just being me

I've been working in my current job now almost 7 years. Every year I get in trouble with the management, not just my own manager but his manager too. I'm opinionated, if I have something to say I'm not afraid to say it, if something isn't going well I'll be the one to point it out, if people have a complaint about something or someone they come to me because I'm the one who will speak up, if I have a problem I'll let them know. Being this way has lost me "friends" but I've also gained respect. By being real I realise who else is real. Today, once again, I was called into the office for making a video blog on YouTube about our new uniform, I done it for the humour aspect, for the craic, taking the piss out of myself.
How can I stop getting in trouble....my own boss hates me because I speak the truth and he can't handle it.
It's kinda funny too though, knowing that my life is monitored (Facebook, YouTube, etc) to make sure I don't "step out of line".
One pathetic person even went to the trouble of printing out a full convo (83 comments long) that me and some others had on facebook once slagging off our work colleague, it was public, we had nothing to hide, but she printed it off and presented it to the manager.... I pointed out that this person knows I don't like them, knows I have no time for them, and I had the convo publicly so if they had a problem they could approach me....they didn't, it was some other slag who hated me tried to make a fuss out of it. My manager couldn't really bring it any further. Ha.

But this is who I am. I shouldn't have to change. But I'm getting really fed up with constantly being told off for having opinions. For being real.

ahhh ... being uself... roll eyes

... nothing beats that kid. Believe u me ... I know what am talkin about.
well done girl ,ok fair enough im sure you are good at the job as i said you wouldnt be there this long ,as i said earlier maybe its the way ya say things ,or in this case dont say things, dunno confusedbut either way im sure you are a nice person its just when you used the swear words but then who am i to judge,i also dont like changing just because others say and like to be who i am so keep your own id girl unless it hurts others wink wave
One cannot teach you how to have "filters", only you can control yourself....conversing doh There is a difference in having an opinion and asking yourself...How will this serve me?
maybe their biggest problem is the way you complain about it.. Maybe you should keep your complaints more private and safe them from losing face all the time?

I know this sounds lame.. I couldn't do it myself and lost many jobs because of this. I Always speak my mind just like you do
Good point George, when things do go wrong or if there is a problem etc, they do tend to turn to me as I give it to them straight, so I guess it's not always a bad thing. I have loads of warnings, but not enough to fire me. I keep saying I'll leave but 7 years later I still find myself here. It's a very hard place to leave, the staff almost become like a wee family, me being the rebel child or the one people turn to when in doubt or need to talk too. I guess looking at it that way I can't complain grin
