Actually you are correct, according to a google search of "dictionary blackmail ", it shows it is about getting money in exchange for silence.Nope. "Fuck me or you are fired" is also blackmail.
Well in my land it would also be no blackmail because blackmail means that the blackmailer just wants money. If the blackmailer wants you to do specific things it is coercion.
The better word here would be indeed coercion: "the action or practice of persuading someone to do something by using force or threats".
