Slaves generally get room and board, and always have the opportunity to quit (although the other option is often death, so slavery is preferable.)
I'm not trying to be facetious, I'm trying to tell you that your criteria are not meaningful, and you're pretending like they're obvious. It's why many US slaves moved directly from slavery into sharecropping for the same masters. The only thing that changed was the paperwork. Now they were renters, who could quit (with no assets and no means to feed themselves.)
Slavery is better when you don't have to think about it, I suppose.
It's not slavery when you get paid for it and can quit

It's just wage slavery then :-).
You can do it OR you can starve. That's the beauty of freedom of choice under capitalism.
I’d rather not have people in my house. Much prefer someone telepresencing and seeing inside than actual people.
Mainly because I feel it’s an inconvenience for them. Personally, I’d rather telecommute than work in an office.
