Being a slave entails more than just having to fulfill your voluntarily agreed-to, contractual obligations. Using the term "slavery" for this trivializes actual slavery – i.e., ownership over a human being.

If you are in any non-voluntary way forced to stay with the company and you can't leave. For example foreign workers that do labour intensive work where their housing is being taken care of by the employer in an exploitative way, they can't quit working because their employer is in charge of their housing, etc.
You can also leave for any arbitrary reason, anything else is slavery, simply put. This goes both ways.
>If you create a company, you take care of it and all of its members.
If you create a company, you have a fiduciary duty towards your shareholders. A company only exist when it is profitable (either now or in the future) and it can only continue to exist if it can do so profitably. Companies don't exist to "take care of its members", those are what unions are for ... oh ... wait ...
>Will the 10% of the employees be the ones who are already in the less comfortable financial and social situation in their private life ?
How is this even relevant? You provide a service to the company and they pay you for it, they can decide not to do business with you and vice versa. Empathy has little to no place in business, unless it generates more profit of course.
