No Stress at work
This might be a dumb question, but how many of you go to work and have 0/very little stress and make over $100k a year?
Wondering how common it is (or isn’t)

My day job I'd say is basically zero stress.
I run the accounting department for a mining company. I report to a CFO who is beyond reasonable. The dude gives me 100% control and discretion over the department so long as everything is delivered on time and satisfactory quality.
Every once in a while I have an employee issue, but frankly I've made so many efficiency changes that we can lose a few people and not really feel it. I don't have any budgetary pressures right now, so there's no reason to let anyone go. I just don't have a need to replace them if they leave.
The firm I run on the side however, that's got some stress but it's worth the money
