He is most likely talking about the typical corporations, but it doesn’t mean he’s right about pointing the finger at wages. Wage labor isn’t the cause of wage slavery and neither is the existence of a company. It’s the authoritarian company structure, which is systemic to capitalism, that is causing an unfair power dynamic between the employer and employee. That power dynamic is what creates wage slaves.
As far as wages are concerned you can get a wage and not be a wage slave. It comes down to whether the company is with an authoritarian (capitalistic) or a democratic (socialist) structure.
