All employees are there by choice - even if it’s not their first choice, it’s their choice.
Well, in a sense yes, but for many people the choice is either work there or go unemployed, especially the lower you go on the corporate ladder.
Like I said, I don’t think it’s a fair choice.

Well, we agree.
As for myself? I chose to not be a slave and I’m sticking with that.

I also get to choose, but I am privileged to be able to choose.

With some exceptions, we all have a choice in the first-world. Chains can be external and internal. In your example, the chains are mostly internal even if there is some degree of external chains. If you’re living in SF and are a game developer, chances are you aren’t doing terribly.
As for exploited and poor third-world countries or those who lack citizenship in first-world countries, I’m inclined to say that is modern slavery. It sometimes literally is slavery, even child slavery.
Here in the first-world, we benefit from child slavery and third-world in the products we consume. The scary thing is that it’s not uncommon either.
