I have been working at my job for a while and my employer is threatening to fire me if I don't improve my performance. How should I handle the situation?

It sounds like you’re in a difficult position, but there are some things you can do. First, try to understand what they want from you. Ask questions about your goals and expectations so that you know where they’re coming from. Then, think carefully about how you can meet those expectations without compromising your own values or integrity. Finally, be prepared to negotiate with them and explain why it might not be possible to meet their demands.
