I was written up for not being happy, and again for smiling too much later in the year. I'm a software test engineer.

I can imagine that writing unit tests all day long 24/5 may not make you smile enough at first and after while it can make you smile in scary way.

I'm an autist, following rules is mega easy. Boss says smile, I smile until he says to stop.

I don't see why boss would be unhappy with that 👍 (no sarcasm)

Because this makes the boss contemplate how stupid his rules are

In my company the test engineers write and perform system-level tests. Unit testing is up to the developer.

Then switch that in your mind as example that suits you.

It is a industry knowledge that software test engineers cannot achieve true joy.

This is a nice example of "I have to write an evaluation about this person but I don't know this person, I haven't spoken to this person, I've seen this person a few times while walking by. He frowns a lot"
