There’s evidence that pyramid builders were considered a cut above other workers and had special privileges. It could be that the Hebrew slaves were trying to elevate their status by pretending to be ‘pyramid builders.’
I’m the same way. I think up jobs around the house (I even make a list!) and hubby checks them off the list as he completes them. (No pyramid building, though).

Construction used to be a really bad paying job. Still is in many places depending on your legal resident status.

And it’s still a going concern. Employs hundreds of archaeologists.
