Ask your friends if they can afford to leave their job. Unless, they truly enjoy it, unlikely. Even if its cringe, it doesn't make it less true. You're friends CAN QUIT they have FREEDOM and liberty to do so. But most don't because of fear like taxes.
What you say is true, and I am 100% aware that many people are trapped in their jobs. In the U.S. the consequences of quitting and losing e.g health insurance is real. If you have underlying medical conditions, one can feel ensnared, trapped, hopeless, miserable and desperate. These are all negative consequences of a system that exploits working people. But this is also FAR removed from slavery. An actual slave would give anything to have that job, however difficult. That is my point. We can use better words to describe the situation.

and my point is that he woud still be a slave, a voluntary one, wich is the worst

No he would not. Because he can still raise a family, find a different job, move out of the country, take a risk and start a business, educate themself, and do an enormous number of things that a slave cannot do. You are using the word metaphorically and it is inaccurate and wrong.
I am sorry, in writing I sometimes have a hard time expressing myself. I like to have pictures(thanks to ai, im able) to articulate myself. Currently, im working on this flaw but at the same time im learning about sovereignty. So if my words seem cringe, understand its viewed like that in my mind. While, you might be more eloquent with words. Try to understand others may not be.
