Can you elaborate on this? A few more details would be useful.
If we remove the salary from the equation for any job or for any type of worker, does that make them a slave or a volunteer? I'd say the latter, if only because unlike slaves volunteers can get up and leave whenever they want.
To be honest, though, I find the slavery comparison to be more than a bit offensive.

By slave, I mean ‘Slavonic (*captive*)’, there shouldn't be a taboo necessary with that word.
> Saqaliba refers to the Slavic mercenaries and slaves in the medieval Arab world in North Africa, Sicily and Al-Andalus.
Edit: therefore I mean, are embedded engineers captive [0] of progress? (It's not an interesting question, sorry)
[0] Because of compensations, local law (?), societial pressure
