They missed project managers. Lots of time stress, but worst of all no control, their job is to get the project done on time but they have no input into team size, project scope, or schedule, just get it done.

Yes lack of control is a huge factor in inducing stress.
Many of the jobs on this list actually do have control.

Many of the top race car drivers seem to have a pulse rate around 30.

Most of the surgeons and obsteticians I’ve been around are cool customers also.

Then there are those lead designers who have to create the product with those minimal resources, short schedules, and long feature lists that force us to work days, nights, weekends, holidays, etc. while everyone is asking ‘can you give me an update?’

I could work more, if we didn’t have so many update meetings.
