v: The boss may want. An employee may do the same. Their speeches may be very emotional and even "intimidating": "We all are going to lose our jobs, they will come and take our children! TO EAT THEM ALIVE! VOTE FOR XXX!" I may be wrong, but it looks like you're trying to mix "intimidation" and "threatening". Every Sunday many churches "intimidate" people promising hell and suffering for wrong-doing. Or look at this intimidating-intimidating ad, for example...

Well, see, the difference between an employee making such comments, or a preacher, or an ad, is that these speakers can't make the threats come true.

The boss can.

That's where "threats" and "intimidation" merge.
