  to compel to an act or choice

  In both cases, if the person needs what the other person is witholding, he is compelled to meet their demands, no?

  Ask direct complete questions

  “Even if your boss simply ignores you, the assumption is that there is a reason underneath, no?” and “And if you need what your boss has bad enough to change your behavior, you are coerced into it, no matter if the demand was properly communicated (proposition) or not (ignoring), no?” are complete questions, in fact, they are straight up yes or no questions, the simplest of them all.

    No, what you describe is not coercion. If you believe otherwise the burden of proof lies with you.

      What do you mean burden of proof? It’s the dictionary definition. That I put literally right on top. To be compelled to act.
