Would you, could you, work any harder if enslaved?

Probably.
My “current job” is a Master’s thesis, and incidentally, I’m supposed to be working on it right now. I don’t think my slave keeper would let me procrastinate on the Fluthernets while there’s science to be done.

No, I think I’d rather die and start over in my next life.

Doubt it. I’m pretty stubborn. I’d also most likely plot with my coworkers to kill the guy teehee

Sure. I’m in childcare, and I could always read more, have more elaborate projects and fieldtrips, keep them in cleaner clothes etc. But what makes me good at my job is my passion- the kids can tell I’m having fun and that helps them have fun too. That would be gone in the scenario you describe. I’d be working harder, but I wouldn’t be as good at my job.

Well yea at first I would work much harder. Someone is about to beat me or whip me I will step on it but I gotta imagine after sometime in that type of work environment my over all state of health would go down, well mentally for sure…..So at first yes, in the end I would be a even worser worker I suspect…

Less.I am stubborn that way. ;)

I certainly have the capacity to work much, much harder in my job. Would I if the threat was death…... probably.

I prefer to manipulate the source of slavery. Example:If I’m a pyramid worker then I’ll use my sexiness to lure the guard men or even the Pharaoh(even I heard that scientist said pyramid workers are all well fed and live in proper condition). I usually a superior individual so I won’t bow to someone if I don’t have to (sometime I will,for pragmatic reason).

It would motivate me to find a way to break free. I’d be the best-est employee ever, while secretly staging a coo.

Sure I could work harder. But I’d make sure they lost out in the long run. I’d do something so the wheels would come off their chariots; their guns would misfire; or a few blocks in the pyramid would crumble early.
I’d make a bad slave.

Of course.

Yes, but I’d always be trying to escape. I’d be in cahoots with the underground railroad if I ever was successful =D.

I’d tell them to try to do my job and see how they like it – they wouldn’t do it better.

Could I work harder in those instances? Of course. Would I… if by doing so I felt I could in some way significantly damage those holding the reigns then yes. Otherwise I think I’d rather fight the good fight and take as of the bastards down with me as possible.

I base that, in no small part, on some of the more heated “conversations” I’ve had with people who felt the need to take issue with the way I get the job, they (or their boss) hired me to do, done. Of course my life wasn’t on the line, but I’ve never believed that living to work was a life worth living.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir

They wouldn’t bother trying Simone. They’d simply throw you in the oven.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies obviously

Oh no, I am a rugged American individualist, and I would change the whole system using only my wits and my teeth.

Come on. If you’re a slave you do what you’re told.

I would work as hard as I could, in the hope of not drawing much attention. Just another worker drone. All the while planning my escape.

@lazydaisy You’d probably be running the place before anyone knew what hit em’.

I don’t think I’d have the capability to do any better. They’d most likely just kill me anyway.
