My coworkers hate me...?

I've been working for a company for the last 3 years, when I first started there I had a positive attitude about everything, I was so happy to be there but 3 years later things have completely changed. For starters let me say that all but 3 of the 10 employees there have quit including a supervisor, with the new supervisor 2 years ago I started seeing changes in how the bank was being managed. In conjunction with my boss they completely changed a lot of things. The bank went from being pretty laid back to uptight and micro-managed to the T. For every little thing that we do its a write up or a call to HR. I'm so tired of this. The micro-managing comes in in the form of constantly be given stupid evaluation, TESTS, can you believe this? And the tests are on a subject(s) that are discussed thoroughly at a meeting and then dragged to death for the next 4 months. Now, not to brag but I know my Shit & theres nothing that I hate more than being given the same tests, having the same talks over and over & OVER. Another point thats driving me crazy is that we are evaluated by customers, they (my job) works with an outside company that surveys the customers and has them grade us on our performance, now mind you this "performance" is mearly taking everyday deposits, withdrawals, & check cashing, seriously nothing to fret over, but the grading system works in how "nice" we are, if we made them "feel special" did our job correctly, etc, etc... I don't know if its the pressure of having to perform so well all the time or the fact that I'm constantly in fear of being given a bad score but most of the time I do pretty bad. I'm not a mean person, but I tend to be quiet and more reserved then the rest so it doesn't come naturally to be a loud bubbly person. Unfortunatly I have a co-worker who is all of the above and always scores perfect every single month on these customer evaluations. I have to admit I wish I could have that personality but I just don't. So I feel like I'm treated differently because I don't perform well. All around I'm very miserable at my job, I strongly dislike my manager on a personal level because I feel that she is incompetent and has to constantly tell me to do things that I do everyday without needing to be reminded and because of past issues. Lately I've been starting to feel like an outsider at my job, I come in, work, don't make much convo with any1 & I'm on my way out. I know this sounds like an endless rant but its mostly me venting and needing some advice from anyone out there that can help me. Its seriously depressing but I feel like I have no choice because of this economy. Believe me I have been on countless interviews but things are rough out there, plus I have a baby to care for. :`(

1. You should bring muffins into work for everone!
2. You have to learn to fake it. Do whatever it takes to make your day go by as pleasantly as possible. A smile don't cost you nothing. You say it's tough out there and you have a child to care for then that all the more reason to go with the flow until you can do better. Times change therefore we have to be able to change in order to be able to exist. Starting tomorrow think positive, fake a smile. Tell yourself it's for my baby and watch the smiles come. Ace those evaluations you've been with that company long enough to do that. Good luck
