Correct, conditions of the workers of the Pyramids and Temples

-8 h per day, 6 days a week

-Free housing, food and a small garden for themselves and their families

-Medical assistance and care in sick leave due to illness and accident.

-Exempt from paying taxes

-Care and assistance for the old ex-workers.

(better than today in most countries)

Slaves (mostly prisoners of war and criminals) were naturally also used, but only for basic jobs and assistance. The Pharao knew very well that if he wants a job well done, he cannot get it with slaves and in poor conditions, but with well-cared and happy professionals.
