Not denying it at all, I am saying at some point you still have a choice. If we are going extremes with our examples, then let's say someone set the place on fire and your boss said if you leave your station, you will lose your job. At what point as the fire gets close and closer to your station and you have trouble breathing do you bail on your job even though you are stuck in "wage slavery"??
The irony that you bring up shoveling shit because one of the options i had after losing my job back in the last economic crash was cleaning horse stalls. It's funny to cause i promised my EX that i would do anything possible to continue to financially support them even shoveling shit.
Instead, I found a job moving "shit" from truck to warehouse, to other side of warehouse, to another truck all night long.
4th option look for something else. Not sure the first option is that bad if they pay you well. It's just manual labor, millions of people do it daily.
