White Collar Sweatshop 

An office populated by so-called white collar professionals who are forced to work not only during regular hours, but also at home, in the evenings, weekends, holidays and “vacations” in order to complete projects on time – this only to receive more projects with even more ridiculous deadlines. Often these deadlines are so tight because of the poor planning and shortsightedness of management. Management justifies this slave driving by paying these workers in the neighborhood of $70,000 a year, which is less than 1% of the company’s total revenue.
Man Jeff is always working, he barely gets any time with his family." "Yeah but he makes like $70,000 a year so that's the trade off." "I thought he went to college so he WOULDN'T have to work hours like that." "No he went to college so he could work in a white collar sweatshop.

sweatshop pop 

A sub-genre of pop music made by artists to be used in advertising, store ambience, corporate settings, and other similar situations, or seemingly to do so. The name is derived from the fake and manufactured feel of the song, making it seem like it was made in a sweatshop.

SS Sweatshop 

The SS Sweatshop is a heavily barricaded dungeon located underneath LosPollosTVs mansion in New Jersey In which LosPollosTV (the dictator) forces his workers to stream for extended and sleepless hours with little to no pay or food and against their will while he sits back and relaxes, earning subscriber money. He has several cameras and speakers in the dungeon which he uses to torture workers by forcing them to listen to a soundtrack called "CLB". Several survivors of this sweatshop have planned to release a documentary titled: "Surving The SS Sweatshop" in the near future in which they further expose the truth about Los, and the living conditions.
