Don't pollute language. You were coerced, not forced.

Don't pollute language

but I repeat myself. Just because it worms its way into a dictionary doesn't mean it's proper.

And you are what, more of an authority than the dictionary?

How about we look at the etymology of the word then Mr. Scholor.. "c. 1300, forcen, also forsen, "exert force upon (an adversary)," from Old French forcer "conquer by violence," from force "strength, power, compulsion" (see force (n.)). From early 14c. as "to violate (a woman), to rape." From c. 1400 as "compel by force, constrain (someone to do something)." Meaning "bring about by unusual effort" is from 1550s. Card-playing sense is from 1746 (whist). Related: Forced; forcing"

Sure seems to me like "strength, power, compulsion" fit the bill for your company dictating get the jab or you are fired.

A nation comprises three things:

  • borders
  • language
  • culture

by saying force when what you intend is coerce, you are helping the communists win, which is bad praxis

also the word you want there is pedantic
