I a long-winded way of saying “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

This irks me chat. This is an elephant in the room that should be causing mass chaos

    In my experience the more I’ve gotten paid the less stressful my job has been.

    My pay was worst when my job was taking emotional abuse from the consumer public while working in a hot kitchen where I got burned a lot.

    It improved when my job became taking emotional abuse from the consumer public in an air-conditioned setting.

    It improved a lot more when I lucked into a promotion where I touch spreadsheets and send out emails about the spreadsheets and nobody screams at me anymore.
