It's completely inappropriate to repurposes the word "slavery" for H1B visa holders.
Sure, being tied to your current employer in a way that makes it hard leave is a terrible position to be in, but these folks are also well-compensated workers living comfortably in the richest nation on earth. They're free to travel anywhere in the US and are free to leave their job at any time.
Actual slaves don't spend weekends wine-tasting in Napa or cutting work early to catch a Giants game.
I wouldn't like it either, but that doesn't make it "slavery". Presumably you have the option to work in your country of citizenship. A slave does not.

I wouldn't ever be "comfortable" with that sword of Damocles hanging overhead.

Then get a job in your country of citizenship.
