My advice to you is to limit the way you joke around. Many people these days take things too seriously, and especially at work, there has to be a limit.
You may find it uncomfortable or even strange, but you have to adhere to the norms of work-place. Less jokes.
You don;'t have to put smilies in all of your emails, some people even take smilies the wrong way.
Best to remain professional, and joke a little when need be, not all the time and not with everyone.
always remember some people are watching you, even though you dont know they are. Some are even pro'lly reading the internal mails and emails when you dont think they are.
You are there to work, and let it remain so. It looks like you are having problems with some thick people there and also seeing your other posts, that would be the best advice I can give you.
Be more serious at work, less jokes. Bring professionalism into it more and let others see that in you. Leave the other things for outside of work.
Let your emails be strictly 'work' stuffs, no smilies if possible except someone you are very very friendly with.
You have to redeem yourself back in front of those who are probably talking behind your back about you. Dont give anyone the satisfaction of seeing you leave/or be fired just like that.
FOCUS ON WORK ONLY when you are at work
One of the things that makes my current job enjoyable is that most of us are truly friends, at least in my team, and the company environment is informal.
Why pose a limit on being myself just because some people take things too seriously?
Another way to put the question is: why should I sacrifice myself just to satisfy the grumpiness of another person?
