Small business owner here. Just to add to the other responses about the stress and responsibility as you move up that others mentioned here... I cover every one of my employees when they take vacation or sick leave. So I am often doing my job, plus another person's. It's not uncommon for me to work 12 hour days without breaks.

I don't think OP was referring to small businesses (< 50 employees), but more like 1000+ employees.

I am not reffering to small business owners, but big corporate executives
