Using "slave" as a verb perpetuates harmful stereotypes and minimizes the suffering of millions of people who were enslaved.
Instead of using "slave" as a verb, you can use more appropriate alternatives that accurately describe the situation. For example:
* Instead of: "The company slaved its employees to meet the deadline."
* Use: "The company overworked its employees to meet the deadline."
Remember, it's always better to use language that is respectful, accurate, and avoids perpetuating harmful ideas.
