I really do feel like outside of manual labor, jobs get easier the more you get paid.
That does makes sense as a rule of thumb. At every promotion, you'd rather get paid more. But you'd also rather be less stressed. So you get a bit more money and a bit less stress with every step up, until eventually you're the CEO and everyone is blowing you literally and figuratively AND you get more money than you could spend.
Of course there're workaholics who either enjoy their work (good for them) or are socially pressured to maximize their output (pity them) or want to be above others even if it kills them (fuck them). And there's lazy people. But as a rule of thumb it's a good description.
