Notes domination"Employment is a form of slavery. This is a provocative analogy and may be offensive to some, but it is key to understanding why employees are often unhappy.

Merriam Webster defines a slave as, 'a person who has lost control of himself or herself and is dominated by something or someone else.' This is precisely what happens in the workplace. Many employees, shackled to their jobs with little freedom to control their day-to-day work or career, feel like slaves." (p. 7)
