My boss has always been a very sketchy guy who, as a politician and a property owner, he often thinks very little about what’s right.

He more often thinks of what he can get from his employees even though they are mostly below the poverty line and he owns so many properties in so many states that he has little need to be financially unjust (Scrooge McDuck). I once emailed him about mold in a property. He called me angrily right after and threatened to fire me. Lately he has hinted I'm not to email him about any pay I make or any agreements or injuries on the job. He calls them “long emails”.

My question is…can he threaten my job because he doesn't want things in writing? How I stop this horrible violation of my own ability to keep myself legally safe against this Mr. Crabs of a man. He sent me in a job that was to last 11 days. He lied. I've been here for 40 days. It has cost me my livelihood.
