“slave” means someone who cannot choose to stop working for another. If you can seek alternate employment or even just choose to stop working there, you’re not a slave.
It’s common practice to use the noun in a poetic sense, such as “wage slave” or “corporate slave”, but such usage doesn’t rise to expanding the definition of the word.
