Dear Pragati,
As TS and Dinesh Divekar have pointed out, we are still not clear as to what you do and how large your company is and it's nature of operations. From what I can gather from your successive posts, you are a fresher. What qualifications do you have? What was the medium of instruction when you took your Secondary School Certificate? I raise this question, as your command of the English language could be causing you problems.
You say that you are dealing with 50 people. What exactly do you do? The managers do not have to interact with you to assess your performance at work. They can ask the people with whom you deal with, etc. The mere fact that they have extended your probation by 3 months indicates that you have not come up to their expectations. As Dinesh Divekar has pointed out, it may be that the deficiencies in your communication has caused it.
You have also said that your GM is 80% satisfied with your performance. In a workplace, that means not fully work-ready. The expectation is 100% satisfaction.
If seniors, at CiteHR, have criticised, they have criticised your approach and not you as a person.
Have a nice day.

Hi Pragati,
I had also been through this situation. The one of my college said " 10% growth is for work and remaining 90% for relation with higher management" for this many people do many funny things like appreciating the new car of the boss, some help to boss etc. I really find it quite helpful. The suggestions I found written above are bookish may sound good but hardly works.

Dear Mr. Deepak
If you love buttering up your boss, you are welcome to do it. You may also teach the same to your colleagues in your organisation but kindly avoid doing the same in this forum as we all are professionals and love to deal in the professional way.
If you don't know the difference between DIPLOMATIC WAY OF DEALING and the other way of getting things done, which you had noticed and even it sounds productive to you, i would love to call it as "Unprofessional approach, Its better you learn the reality and biter facts of life. I am not sure how long you would love to keep doing unprofessional things in your life to climb the success ladder... If you continue the same, i am sure you won't be able to identify yourself or explore talents inside you or it can be something more than that.
I believe in my true identity which is created by my own hard work but not the one achieved by buttering up bosses. Learn to live the PRACTICAL LIFE.

Dear Pragati,
Though I am not from HR dept. but I never ever miss going through the daily mails from this forum. Many mebers exclussively working in HR or head of HR already tried to understand your problem but my only suggestion to you to avoid SMS language in briefing something. It is ok in our freind circle but any correspondence with SMS language displays negative image of the person.
I personally feel your immediate boss is just to look after operations of your branch and the real decisions maker is your boss who is in other city. Though he may have contacted you only twice or thrice in last 6 months, it does not mean he is not in touch with your branch. As per organisational structure already you have a boss in capacity of GM. If you are leading a team of 50 people in your branch then there must be some other departments and dept. heads like you who must be reporting to the GM of your branch. If you are handling complete branch of 50 people what exact role GM is playing then?
My only advise not to be upset and carry on your good work. Though it may not pay in current organisation but will give chance to come up in life with another company with responsible position.
Best regards,

Dear Ms. Pragati,
We all want you to understand yourself better, rather getting demotivated for those reasons which are quite common in every company.
Try to evaluate the whole situation before you come to conclusion. Perhaps you can discuss with those whom you trust and seek their views or suggestions. This will give you peace of mind.
If we are wrong, We have to accept our mistakes and correct ourself for better future. This will help you keep learning new things that will benefit us.
Have a nice future and Good luck...
