What? Everyone has the option to leave, otherwise it is involuntary and IS slavery... if you are making the choice to stay, then it is not forced at all. There is always another option besides making the choice to stay. You are actually not forced to stay.

> Are you really equating someone choosing to remain at a job where they work with assholes to slavery?

No. If you are not allowed to leave, then it is slavery. Look at carefully what you have just said: choosing, indeed, that makes it voluntary, you are NOT FORCED to stay, you CHOSE to stay because of your preferences and whatnot.

Also a reminder: we were talking about "working with assholes", do not come up with scenarios where your future hypothetical individual will have ZERO opportunities, skills, etc. :)
