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?

You should first try to understand why your employer is making this threat, and what they expect you to do differently in order to avoid being fired. Then you can decide whether or not it's worth trying to comply with their request. If you're unsure of how to proceed, you could ask them for more information about what they want from you.
