I feel like a slave to th US government for sure and also a slave to my corporate overlords at times. A far as government is concerned, I disagree with how they spend more than half of my tax dollars so that's definitely a form of slavery. The corporate world is a bit of a different story..

When I was in college I never imagined I'd work 80+ hours in one week for multiple weeks at a time and only be compensated for 40 because I'm paid salary.

My company has since changed the policy so we get vacation time for any hours worked over 50 per week but we still have to give them 10 free hours of labor. And as much as it sucks working that much, I couldn't find better pay or benefits somewhere else so I feel trapped here bc i have a mortgage payment, a family to support, etc.

My employer is like the devil that I know and other companies are the devil I don't know.

At least some day I will be retired and only be a slave to one entity :/
