French term or phrase: bouffer à la même sauce
On oppose des soi-disant protégés à des salariés qui sont de statut privé. Ça, c'était le discours de mon entreprise, La Poste, il y a 5 ou 6 ans, qui marchait bien.
Là, on se rend compte qu'on se fait tous bouffer
à la même sauce.

Para América Latina
Muchas gracias.

Explanation:
Entiendo que la expresión conlleva más el sentido de "verse atrapado" que no de "saberse dominado".
