Thanks @honeydue! Very keen observation on your part, it is a prison, but a self-imposed one. Human resource departments within corporations have a systematic way of making employees feel as if you should be thankful to give your best years to their company and be grateful for mediocre compensation. They prey on people's fear of the unknown and poor self-esteem. The younger generations (like you) are waking up to this in a major way and it's amazing to watch.
