Have you spent a significant time in management roles? I worked longer hours and had more stress in management than as an IC (with about 10 years of experience in each).

The "managers are lazy" cliche is common among folks that haven't experienced the other side and don't understand that people problems are harder and take more time to solve than technical problems.
