Slavery is the ownership of a person as property, especially in regards to their labor.

Having 100% exclusive rights over the fruits of a person's labor, so, a job.

Slavery typically involves compulsory work with the slave's location of work and residence dictated by the party that holds them in bondage.

Ever applied for a mortgage?

    But they don't. I can end this arrangement at any point in time.

    Ever applied for a mortgage?

    Yes, and I can't remember anyone forcing me to buy this specific apartment, or preventing me from selling it and moving anywhere else.

    Regardless, my point wasn't that work isn't slavery, my point is that the pyramids weren't built with slave labor.
