Hello, I watch your show every Saturday.  One week you discussed a harrassment situation where the owner/boss would belittle and demean an employee and there was an opportunity to extract an employee from this current situation and get severance pay.  I have worked at my present job for 3 yrs (all the same role), during that time I have been told I don't care and know nothing as well as being called stupid and an idiot.  I have been told that if I don't improve within 2 months I will be fired.  Several months later I was told I had 6 wks to improve or be fired.  This has escalated to the point that this week I have been told that in 1 week I will be fired.  The boss yelled this at me as he tapped his cellphone on my chest.  This additional stress has affected my personal life, I feel sick in the morning before I head to work and feel extremely stressed at work.  Is there anything I can do now to leave this position and collect severance pay? 

Thank you for reaching out to our firm and we're glad that you enjoy the show.
