They were, nothing cheaper than free slave labor.
pretty sure the modern consensus is that the builders were well respected and well paid, and got to be buried in and near the pyramids they constructed.
Being buried by your job sounds like a throwaway line that was supposed to be world building in a cyberpunk novel. Go to Walmart and can't find parking cause the lot is full of headstones of dead Walmart greeters.
