			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8216;If you do that one more time, you&#8217;re fired!&#8217; Perhaps you may have had to deal with this threat on more than one occasion. You may have felt that one day your boss&#8217; threat may one day be more than just idle talk. This is a problem that some employees have had to deal with for years. As one can imagine, it can cause them deep distress, experiencing sleepless nights, headaches, heart palpitations, breaking out it in cold sweats as a result of panic attacks or maybe even something worse.</p>
<p>Being harassed with being fired any time soon nearly every day is no laughing matter. It may seem funny in comedy films, but when it happens in real life, it&#8217;s very, very serious indeed.</p>
<p>Many employers often use this form of <a href="http://www.actionagainstbullies.co.uk/">workplace bullying</a> to scare their employees into doing faster, quality work for them, not like honest and upright employers, who don&#8217;t use fear and bullying tactics to produce better results from their subordinates.</p>
<p>Contrary to popular misconception, employees don&#8217;t have to take such abuse from their superiors. Employees have basic human rights, the right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to be able able to work in an environment that is safe and free from any type of endangerment-including harassment, especially the constant morbid fear of being fired by a <a href="http://www.actionagainstbullies.co.uk/">bully at work</a>.</p>
<p>Employees, exercise those rights! The next time your boss threatens you, you can threaten him, in effect with the loss of his job. You can in effect say to them, &#8216;if you threaten me one more time, I&#8217;m going to report you to your boss!&#8217; So don&#8217;t sit around being a human verbal dart board, for your boss to constantly &#8216;sting&#8217; you with scathing threats of being fired. Exercise your company rights!</p>
