In these situations, I've always asked "why is the workload so extreme to begin with?" This gets you to the real source of stress.

    It's amazing how many issues in life are caused by the act of thinking of these possible issues, than the issues themselves.

  Wu Tang has the best lines to describe corporate workers: “You're just worms in the worst part of the apple that's rotten You squirm and you turn from the right, still plottin All slimy cause you stay grimy, petty crimey” While some have no alternative others enjoy that kind of game and are part of the problem. Best stay away from such jobs, and undermine corporate at every turn.
