Been stressed out? Can I say these? Hi, everyone. 1. If I want to express working caused me to be stressed out, so the problem hasn't recurred after I stopped working there up until now. 1.1 Can I say this? I haven't been stressed out since I've worked at the company. 1. 2 I think in this case this sentence is the same as "I haven't been stressed out since I worked at the company". Do you think so? 2. If I want to express working had a beneficial effect on the stated problem(say, poverty) continued after I stopped working there. And I got rid of poverty (at any time) when I was still at the company. 2.1 Can I say this? I haven't been poor since I've worked at the company. 2.2 I think in this case this sentence is the same as "I haven't been poor since I worked at the company". Do you think so? Thank you in advance.

'I've' is short for 'I have'. You can only used the present perfect when you are talking about incomplete actions. The simple past is used for complete actions. I haven't been stressed out since I've worked at the company. < Here you use the present perfect, so you insinuate that you are still working at the company. The use of the present perfect means that this action is incomplete. I haven't been stressed out since I worked at the company. < Here the simple past means that you have finished working at the company. The action is complete. Likewise: I haven't been poor since I've worked at the company. < Here the use of present perfect means that you are still working at the company. I haven't been poor since I worked at the company". < Here the simple past means you have finished working at the company. The action is complete.
