Some people are exploited in ways that are horrific compared to how other people are exploited. But until we have words specifically to describe white-collar workers, I'm going to use the available words that I think are most apt.
I realize that some white-collar works are truly exploited. However, most of the people that I see complain about being "exploited" just don't have the balls to quit their job.
