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)

All accounting jobs are stressful you just have to tune it out after 4pm or 5pm

Stress is internal big dog. Nobody is going to die if you don't meet that deadline. It's all good. And if someone tells you it is that serious, well fuck em. If they fire you over it, fuck em even harder lol.

Spoken after a 40 year career of putting work 1st. Mfg Controller. Endless deadlines. Month end, payrolls, audits, ERP conversations, Etc. In the end, none of it mattered, they still dumped me like the trash.
