You may call the health department and let them know that this condition exists. If you decide that you cannot work there because of the infestation, then yes, you could lose your job.
If the heatlth department follow’s up on your tip, they may close the place for that and other violations. Then you would most likely be out of a job.

yes, bed bugs need love too.
I suppose if you refused to work for a variety of reasons you could be fired.
