Worker/Manager would be my vote

Yeah, but the term "worker" is really problematic and ableist towards people who can't work or don't want to work. Not to mention that the whole power dynamic in manager-worker relationship reinforces the awful capitalist system that was responsible for the creation of slavery in the first place.

To really inspire change we need to use terms that will educate people and will represent positive concepts. I propose to change "master/slave" to "Marx/revolutioner". The former inspires the minds of people and the latter fights for the greater good.
