well Hyomin here the OP is right, being forced to buy at the company shop where you work because you are paid in scrips often at inflated prices sort of binds you to that company because if you wanted to leave you will most likely have no savings at all.
This often was combined to workers living in a company provided house so leaving the company also meant no home
You should probably step away from crafting for a bit if it is causing you to think this outrageously.
