Academic here...
Going to disagree with some of the other academics who are objecting to the OP.
In my experience, while there are stressful and difficult parts of life in a university, there is a tendency for people to have a lower threshold for their complaints.
It is a common observation that I heard about before I worked in universities, and have seen since that there is a split in academia between those who have worked professionally outside of universities, and those who have been in education for their whole lives.
Generally those with professional careers prior to academia tend to find university life to be demanding in some ways, but actually fairly soft and easy in many others. The hours are great, the holidays tend to be great, the work-life balance, and work environments are generally good (obviously this depends on the university ands its management). Class loads, marking, student supervision are all easy compared to working in a school or in the private sector etc.
Yet those who have spent their entire lives in education.. School, Uni, Undergrad, Postgrad, PhD, Post-doctoral position, Lecturer, and onwards etc. They tend to have a slightly different perspective and get highly critical of the state of universities, largely because they are very (and correctly) aware of right/wrong/fairness/correct ways of doing things, but they have no comparison to how tough it can be outside of the university bubble.
I have no doubt that plenty on here will defend how tough the job is, and it can be very tough, but it isn't as bad as some, especially the "lifers" in academia would complain it is.
