It may not be a solution you approve of, but I've witnessed plenty of cases where managers have effectively bullied their subordinates into doing work they otherwise wouldn't want to do.
Depends what you want to call a solution. Sure, if a manager bullies me into something I'll either do it or not. But I'm definitely raising this with his manager and/or looking for another position at that point. I'd call it a bad workaround for a current problem, not a solution.
