I think my boss is trying to get me fired?

A little birdie told me today that my boss has been saying bad things about me recently. Saying that I'm a slow worker, I disappear a lot when I'm needed, and leave objects around a lot. I'll admit that I'm a really relaxed and laid back guy, and don't really about people think of me, not even my bosses. I disappear a lot because I'm a very quiet/shy person, and I don't like to talk much, especially to my boss. If I disapper it's because I'm on my 15min break or my 1hr lunch. I leave thjngs around sometimes because a customer might ask me to help them do something, or another manager wants me to do another task. It's such a pain and I don't want to get fired. What can I do to improve my performance?

    You could at least say something when you go on break. I'm a manager at a restaurant and one of the employees never tells anyone when she goes off to the bathroom or almost anything, so it's at least courteous to tell them so they're not wondering where you went off to even if it is for your break. It's just annoying not knowing where one of your employees went off to especially when it happens a lot.

    The guy sounds like a total douche bag why would you talk about your employees behind their back like that. I'd look for a new job and quit.

    He say you're a slow worker ? Get quicker at the job.

    You disappear when needed? Make yourself available or tell someone when you are going on break.

    You leave stuff lying around? Tidy up after yourself and be more considerate to your work colleagues.

    It`s not rocket science.
