More details to this question:
My boss is 1/3 owner of an oilfield construction company. They have been having problems among st themselves (the owners) my boss called me and said," don't call them or text them (the other 2 owners) about what I am saying or doing or you will be sorry. I won’t come to your home but I will catch you out on the streets." I went to one of the other owners and now they want a face to face confrontation and I am worried about the backlash. Worried there will be physical harm brought upon myself or my wife. What do we do or can we do.

File a police report, so that if anything does happen, at least there is a record of it.

I only answer questions based on GA law. Since you work in an oil filed, I suspect you are not in GA. Please resubmit your question, and disclose what state you work. You should find another job, or not complain.

You may seek an Order of Protection which will allow the immediate arrest if that individual under the circumstances which the Judge may impose. If he is your supervisor at work, you may have to leave that employment, and of course if he makes additional threats, a call to the police may be warranted.
