But I would extend that to corporations viewing the labor pool as property as well. They don’t like it when people are not working.

I agree with you 100%. Most corporations also expect their employees to wear multiple hats and to juggle responsibilities outside of their job descriptions without any hopes of a raise/promotion.
These days you are expected to go above and beyond just to show that you’re grateful for your job. Otherwise you might get pulled aside by your boss so they can hit you with new age terms like “quiet quitting”. 🙄😅
They also attach health care to employment which is another aspect of control.
