Being called in the bosses office to be told you're not performing to his/her standards is not "bod mouthing" - that's what a boss does.
Chances are, that's not her favorite job so she didn't just make it up. Your coworkers and 'friends' though are unlikely to tell you the exact truth. If you truly do work twice as hard as everyone else and everyone likes you, then such a session with the boss doesn't happen - the boss is about making money, people who "work twice as hard" make the company more money.
What I suspect is happening (and I could be wrong) is that your coworkers are complaining to the boss about you but they aren't sharing what they really think with you. Happens all the time - some people call it 'back-stabbing'.
Understand too that it doesn't really matter what the other employees think of your work habits - it only matters what the boss thinks. The other workers don't pay you, the boss does. As an employer, let me point out a flaw in your "work harder" assessment of yourself; if you went around and asked everyone about your work habits, who was doing your work during that time? (don't get defensive with me, you asked) That's the sort of thing that employers see as self-serving and potentially conflict creating (aka 'drama') and we don't like it.
While you may be "about ready to quit", I hope you understand that such a discussion with the boss means she's "about ready to fire you" but is giving you a chance to improve.
If you truly want to improve and keep your job, make an appointment with the boss again and ask "what can I do to improve?" and then do those things. If you don't want to improve or keep your job - if you're going to insist that you're right and the boss is wrong - then go ahead and quit and look for a new place of employ. You will be happier and the company will benefit from someone new.

'Linda R' and 'Scoot' have NO idea of what the law is...... I challenge them to provide a link to a state or federal site that backs up their ridiculous claims. in the US an employer may release ANY information (except that protected by HIPAA) that is TRUTHFUL..... many employers as a matter of POLICY only release dates of employment, and job titles, that is policy NOT law......... many employers have such policies because they know they have employees, and management that would lie under certain circumstances, there are people that would lie to prevent an applicant form getting a job and there are employees who would lie trying to help a bad applicant get a job. the employer can be held responsible for those lies regardless of if the reference was good or bad because it was a lie...... so many employers will only release dates of employment, titles and rehire status. this is information that can be read directly from a personnel file and that way the employer does NOT take any risk that the person answering these questions is less then truthful......... you clearly state that you had attendance issues, that you were fired for those attendance issues, and that is what you think is being said about you..... your former employer is doing NOTHING illegal...... it is NOT illegal, and it is NOT defamation to be truthful about anyone or anything..... where do people get the idea that a law would prevent a TRUTHFUL answer to any question?

Your employer is saying to you that he doesn't like you and that you should find work somewhere else. When an employer dislikes an employee, he will find a way for the employee to quit. Don't discuss this with other workers, look for another job, and maintain your good attitude. Once you have a new job, then give notice.

DON'T QUIT!!!
A lot of people here are telling you to quit, and I have to disagree. Employers do this so that you will quit! I don't know what the laws are where you live, but in Canada, if you quit your job your employer doesn't have to give you severance pay, and you can't apply for unemployment insurance.
Try to stick it out long enough to report your supervisor to either Human Resources, or your local labour board. If you go over her head, and get her reported you may prevent this from happening to other people you work with.
Whether or not things get better, you will probably want a new job. Update your resume and start looking, but don't quit untill you do something about this. If you quit now...they win!

Go find a job you like. Get out of that place. Your employer will regret. He will feel the great loss when you leave. You will be surely liked and appreciated in your next endeavour. Cheer up there is lots of good and nice employers out there for you to meet up with. Be happy don't worry....keep trying.
Be truthful, compassionate and endurance.

I'm assuming that your boss had specific examples for you and had suggestions as to how you could correct this. Other employees may not want to tell you how they really feel when you question them. In any case, you will not be progressing at this firm so I would suggest you start looking for a new job.

Does your employer have someone over her? If so document these little meetings and go to HR. If not, start looking for another job because it sounds like she's looking for a reason to get rid of you anyway.

Ask him/her for specific examples.
Say that you produce and give specific examples.
Some managers try to keep their best employees from developing big heads by doing mind games like this.
Also, find another job asap and get away from this person for your own mental health.

As long as the Company opinion stays between you and them, you have no recourse. You stating what the company has said is rumor and hearsay. Unless the company comes out and expresses that o other employees, they have committed no crime.

It's time to move on. If your boss doesn't like you, it's over. Don't fight over it, just start looking for that next job.
