What did Egyptian slaves do?

Most worked as servants in the houses of rich people.

Life for a slave wasn't as bad in Egypt as you would think, they were allowed to marry other slaves or even non-slaves!

There are records of people freeing slaves and making them their heirs, marrying their children to them or just freeing them to have them as servants instead.

There weren't actually many slaves in Egypt.

People tend to have ideas about huge numbers of slaves doing heavy work, but the pulling of stones was actually done by cattle.

Slaves would have eaten what the servants ate and they were treated similarly.
