Yo, some extra info: δουλεία is slavery, while δουλειά is the job in common speech. You can clearly see that δουλειά derives from δουλεία and I think that's because in ancient Greece jobs was a thing slaves were supposed to do (probably if you were wealthy enough to have slaves). I think doing jobs wasn't considered very noble.
