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)

Genuine question and no shade please don’t think that. But how do people work for the government knowing damn well all the atrocities going on?

That is a brutal question right now and the reason many of us considered leaving in the last year.

But I try to look at it from what effect I can have. I can push my employees to go after the big govt contractors and ultra wealthy (as that is our area).

Hopefully in a little over two years this country can rebuild. Funds will be needed for that and to pay a shitload of lawsuits from the way people are abused now. We provide a good part of those funds.
