Is your pay commensurate in comparison to the level of stress you have to deal with?

    Normally, the only stress I have when I work at the office is that I don't have enough to do and it's hard to make it look like you're busy when you're on the Internet most of the day.  So, in that respect, I'm overpaid. :)

    Sure...two pensions and social security with a part time cleaning job. Little stress.

    You don't get paid based on stress.  Some people get stressed about nothing while some fly right through it.

    Not at all. I long ago learned how to handle my job and deal with the stresses so really I have very few now considering how well I am paid for what I do. But as one comment observed we are seldom paid for stress but rather for what we are able to accomplish.

      I believe I was paid well when I worked. There were various stresses, but in my mind I never correlated my pay with my levels of stress or vice-versa. I purposely never applied for supervisor on my job because I saw how much more stressful they had things. I did correlate their stress levels and their pay, and found it not worth the trouble in my opinion. 


    How about you?
