On paper is 5 days work week and if work on off days will be compensated with off in lieu.

Yet reality, your boss milk you 9696 expect you work 7 days a week be on standby 24/7 and whole world can bombard you anytime anywhere and you are expected to be responsive.

And you are not allowed to claim any off caz on paper can claim but your boss can reject. And somehow everything is always forever "urgent" and somehow all your off days boss will slot things for you that you have mandatory work.

Then most importantly your pay is shxt.

Also, your boss is new and it has already drove away more than 40 staff in a span of 3 years. All the jskm old birds all fly away liao and leaving the new birds struggling due to the boss insanity.

Slavery is when you are forced to work against your will. You can don't work. What you described is called Capitalism.

It is against my will but no work no food on the table...so based on this definition, I'm not wrong.
Slavery - u don’t even have a choice to quit

I think the term slavery shouldn’t be used cos it’s a very strong word but most people here have never been slaves so it’s not that sensitive a word
