Your story is so much similar to so many people on this forum itself who have written about similar things in the time I have been here.
What you do is - first become strong in your sadhana - for atleast 6 months - mangalarati and 16 rounds of japa everyday without fail and if possible, reading Gita. Once you become firm enough, you start a preaching program in your house - be the change you want to see - you give people association prabhuji, this will make your resolve stronger and you will progress spiritually.
Regarding people in office - why bother? You just hang on to your job - and remember and focus on your goal - devotion. If your goal is to become the boss of your office, then it will pinch you. Otherwise, let them do their politics and cunningness, you do your devotion with sincerity. One day, the same people will come to your house to hear your lecture. Dont worry.

The one way to keep your sadhana proper is to wake up early in the morning and chant 16 rounds of mahamantra everyday, without fail. Pls wake up half an hour before family members and start chanting. Gradually increase the time gap between family waking up and you waking up and ideally wake up at 4.00 am and chant non stop for 2 hours - you can complete your rounds in that much time. The trick is to wake up at the same time on weekends and holidays also - so as to maintain the habit.
If you are having problems in life, then your faith in God should increase, not decrease. We can guide you better if you tell us more clearly what problems. I know one thing - regardless of the problem, the solution is one - 16 rounds of mahamantra every single day, no breaks on holidays or weekends.

Please accept my dandawat
I have been suffering from Parkinson disease I couldnot chant loudly 16 round in two hours without breaking ,and some time I felt very difficult to speak a single alphabet, but during whole day I could able to complete it also I don't have a regular time to wake up ,because of pain I could not sleep in the night or day and I hardly sleep 2 to 3 hours.
some time during the japa I could not hold mantra mala and also I could not make a sound vibration of maha mantra, in that situation I do set of time for one round it takes 10 minutes and without a mala beads I started chanting silently, like 10 minutes ,,,, is one round
also some time I couldnot chant the holy name by sitting.on that situation I have to put my selfs in sleeping
position.
so I am very unfortunate person

Really sorry to read about your condition.
Pls continue to endeavour to chant. If you cannot sit and chant, lie down and chant. If you cannot take the beads in your hands and chant, then do what you are doing. Krsna will be pleased with your desire prabhuji.
Please beg Krsna to cure you of the material disease called death, what to speak of small diseases like Parkinsons.
I salute your determination to chant under all circumstances.
I hope to be able to serve you one day.
Haribol,
