Over ninety per cent of scholars are reported as saying that the early Hebrews were never enslaved by the Egyptians and that there was no Exodus as described in The Bible. So, no factual answer can be given about the life of slavery suffered by the Hebrews in Egypt.

A biblical answer is that the Egyptians became increasingly harsh in their treatment of the Israelites, increasing the workload and reducing their food allowances. When the Egyptians feared because the Israelites were beginning to outnumber the Egyptians, the Pharoah ordered the slaughter of the Hebrew babies. In this story, life was hard and cruel.
