Modern day slavery in the workforce is corporate slavery is the mistreatment of employees by paying low wages and no health care. Typically you have a toxic manager that focuses on what you do wrong, which is minimal, but focusing on what you do well and does realize that you have a life outside of work. Often there is a point system for attendance, for instance getting one point for calling sick. You can only earn a certain of points if you call off for work, but you could be a single mother with sick children. Corporate Slavery has risen dramatically due to the decline of unions and "The Right to Work"
Me: Kathy just called in sick for today because when she woke up, her fiancee next to her in bed had died in bed.
Krystal: Can you believe Sheri's response to Kathy was that since it was unplanned absence she would earn a point. Then the boss told her she wouldn't paid for her bereavement time, because he was just a fiancee - not yet a husband.
Me: So wait - are telling me that Kathy won't received the paid bereavement because he was "just" a fiancee. I can't believe Sheri would even mention points. Like Kathy gives a shit right now.
Krystal: This is corporate slavery. Remember when the computers were non-functional and we had to show up to this damn cube farm all three days and just at a non-working computer.
Me: That was horribly boring! Right right this is just a form of modern day slavery. I hate it here, when do I get to time off during the day to be able to interview. It is almost impossible to get your time off approved.

Religious people do it all the time in defense of the bible! See LITERALLY ANY apologist when speaking about Leviticus. "It's not CHATTEL SLAVERY like in America. It's the better version of slavery!"
Hym "Is it minimizing slavery to say that I work for little more than food and housing? I spend all my money on food, AT THE PLACE I WORK and am essentially working for free because they have effectively outsourced the feeding and the housing OF me to ME and the benefits and security and personal agency I'm SUPPOSED TO HAVE under the auspices of 'Freedom' are not a thing that exist for me. I am LITERALLY in a situation from which I either need to escape from or endure."
I-dot "You're undermining slavery in America!"

Hym "Nothing I'm saying has any effect on historical American slavery! It happened. Neither of use were there. BOTH OF USE ARE HERE NOW AND WE BOTH BENEFIT FROM THE REMEDIATION OF THE THING I'M TALKING ABOUT! You motherfuckers need to USE YOUR OWN SHIT-BRAINS to contextualize the things I say so I don't have to keep doing it for you! Not everyone has the problem you're having. Have you heard the term 'wage slave?' You're argument is literally 'Talking about implicit bonded slavery (in that I have to give myself to a business owner (regardless of my quality of life or needs) to pay off the perpetual debt that accrues by nature of existing) undermines chattel slavery' WRONG! Both can be bad! You don't have a monopoly on things that are bad! And it's the REGARDLESS OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND NEEDS PART that makes it akin to slavery. Bonded slavery and NOT the one that I'M NOT FUCKING TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW! JESUS CHRIST! DO YOU WANT A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE WORKING CLASS OR NO!? JESUS!"
I-dot "Then get a different job!"
Hym "THAT'S 'ESCAPING' FUCK-FACE! YOU'RE TELLING ME TO ESCAPE THE THING I'M TALKING ABOUT AND THEN SAYING I'M MINIMIZING SLAVERY! OHMYGOD YOU ALL FRUSTRATE ME!"
