Aside from abuse physical and sexual of cruel masters.
were the slaves of good moral masters not better cared for than say a kid out of high school slinging burgers for minimum wage for 10 hours a day?
Unable to survive financial they become trapped in a society that worships money and can barely afford food and shelter for themselves let alone a family.
At leased under a good master one was assured of food and shelter to survive as it would not benefit the master to have a sick slave.
All their needs were looked after in turn for there daily labour. How is this much different from todays society.
Chances of having a cruel boss today are probably about the same as having a cruel master then. The really only difference today is society is the watch dog for the slave drivers. Wich as we all know dose not always protect the down trodden.
You may have your meager earnings in hand every two weeks but it does not guarantee a quality of life.
All the Best

Not really. A slave couldn't just quit being a slave, they couldn't tell their master that they didn't want to do something. They were unable to say no, they had to do what they were told no matter how cruel or good moraled they are. Except with a job, you're able to say now, you're able to quit, you're paid for your duties, able to spend what you wish, while in turn, not just provided for.
