You do get to choose where you work though.

No, you get to choose where you beg for work within your local economic zone as most people don't have the finance to move towards better places opportunities.

Poverty affects peoples health and appearance, appearance affects peoples chances to get hired and health affects your capabilities to remain hired.

Once your desperate enough you will take any job, which the boss will make you feel like you perpetually fail at to break you but never fire you because your exploitation is lucrative. (Naturally this isn't everywhere but its shockingly common)

after that you will be so stressed and miserable, occupied with raw survival you wont have anything strength left to look elsewhere. No one strives to be a wage slave.

And the workplace structure is the same in every company?

Just because you can choose a different lord doesn't mean you're not a serf
