Not only could that mere 10 minute lunch be breaking labor laws depending on where you live, but the implication that you don't have value a couple months in is a huge red flag. They hired you, therefore you have value to them, and they are invested in your success. Either they're trying to play mental games early on to squeeze more out of you than is reasonable, or they're not doing their job in providing enough resources to get the job done under healthy conditions. It’s worth noting whether this is a company-wide culture issue, or if it’s just your direct manager too.
I don't know the job or what the boss meant by 'work harder,' but it can take anywhere from 1 to 2 years to truly learn a job. Given that it's also your first 'real' gig, there's a whole other dynamic of getting used to a workplace environment, and it's their job to help acclimate you to it. Keep your options open, "manage up" (give honest feedback to your manager about how you feel), connect with your colleagues in the meantime to put pressure on management to change their ways, have your resume updated. If you're starting to burn out and you need to jump ship, it's best to have things in order already, so that stressful situation isn't made worse by feeling like you have to do even more stressful tasks in order to find something else.
tl;dr that’s ass.

Been having the shittiest job situation for a while. Being paid minimum wage to do a myriad of different things I did not apply to do (only because they asked for my resume and saw I had other skill sets and without asking slowly integrated it into my work load).
Initially because I was more keen on earning the money for a trip I have planned in a month. I just said yes to everything. They slowly started assuming I wasn’t opposed to doing anything and would give me random assignments. This also included messaging me during off work hours to tell me (not ask me) to do work… which I was very shocked by but I thought it was extra money so why not.
They also have this thing where they don’t ask and they assume my colleague and I’d schedules and without asking just tell us the day before to come in for work which is super unprofessional and disrespectful (imo).
Fell sick recently and they managed to somehow send me more work to do while telling me to rest up… which was somehow my final straw (Should have happened wayyyyyy before).
Now I just ignore their messages past a certain time and take my time to do the work. No more 7 day work week and working at ungodly hours. There’s no credit after all. If you’re being paid minimum wage and the work practice seems unethical… don’t be like me and set boundaries! (If you have the option to of course…)
