&gt;Tell your bosses that you&#x27;ll be forced to quit if working conditions don&#x27;t change …<p>If you put your boss over a barrel like that he&#x27;ll make the changes you want... long enough to replace you.  It&#x27;s better to be a little less direct - &quot;I want you to know I&#x27;m really unhappy with this situation.&quot;  The implied threat is still there, but your boss won&#x27;t feel like he&#x27;s giving in to blackmail if he gives you what you want.
