  That seems unlikely, no? How would Jack Welch ever have been about to cope with 10^19 the work as this dude (or me)? At a certain point it all just ... tops out certainly or we'd have no Presidents. Certainly whoever is the CEO at circleup has had more responsibility than I have ever had, but exponentially more? I think it's much more likely different people feel stress in different ways, and that what we bring to the job influences our experience. Not to paint myself as a stoic in any sense, I can remember spells of not being able to sleep for 3 nights in a row out of terror and axiety. But when that happens you must find mechanisms to keep it from happening again. The pain is transient, not intrinsic.

    Welch had an annual workforce decimation.

  There is no way work/responsibility grows exponentially as headcount increases. Walmart has 2.2 MILLION employees. I doubt Doug McMillon works exponentially harder than a CEO with 1000 employees.
