Maybe the problem is if you are working for someone else. If you are toiling on your farm to survive. Or even hunting/gathering for food. You do need to work to live. So a slave to life? All life is a burden? Even Buddhist have 'all life is suffering'. But toiling in an office, is usually for someone else's benefit. You are only getting a fraction of your work back in pay. So if you are 'trapped', unable to change, and working for someone else's benefit, then a 'slave'? (wish I had some Marx quote to fit here). It is bit of slippery slope, since i'm not trying to include every person that just complains about working because they would rather play video games. And yet, in a market system, the 'rat race', we all do have a sense that we are 'slaves to the system'.
