What is the ruling on an Imam continuing his work and supplicating secretly after the obligatory prayers, and saying to the congregants: "And your Lord said: 'Call upon Me; I will respond to you,'" given that he is threatened with dismissal from his job if he does not comply with the Awqaf's orders, along with his dire need for money to pay off his debts and to support himself and his father, who might disown and boycott him if he loses his job?

Reminding worshippers to supplicate after the prayer and the legislated remembrances by means of the aforementioned verse is sufficient, without a loud supplication accompanied by saying "Ameen." There is nothing wrong with this. As for gathering to supplicate aloud with the worshippers saying "Ameen," this is an innovation (bid'ah) that is not permissible to do or to assist in.
