You’re arguing the degree of slavery and degree of control. As long as you’re compelled to do some work that you don’t want to do, then you’re a slave to it, right? Nevermind that said work benefits the employer just like slavery benefits the master.
The master used to house his slaves and provide medical care, food, whatnot and now the employer simply issues money so that the slaves can care for themselves. The point remains that it’s the job of the employee to make the employer money.

your labor than you get paid
