I’m not sure I’d say it even reaches the line of minor coercion, it’s just *part of your job*, something you have to do to get paid, just like answering the phone in a specific way.

I would certainly suggest that minor coercion is getting paid so that you're willing to handle someone else's bullshit. Stack those things? Clean that thing? Type that up? Gimme a reason to bother. I also want to decouple the notion of coercion from /negative/ coercion.

Like yes, you find yourself doing things you wouldn't inherently have chosen to do, and you do so because of external reasons intended to convince or compel you. It's a gradient to negative coercion, and the fascists are trying to take advantage of that notion.
