Two-thirds of employees are burned out—and the problem is only getting worse. According to research from Moodle, conducted in partnership with Censuswide, 66% of American workers report experiencing burnout in 2025. Even more striking, younger generations are being hit the hardest, with 81% of those aged 18–24 and 83% of those aged 25–34 reporting burnout, compared to just 49% of workers aged 55 and older. At the same time, debates over remote work continue to divide organizations, despite growing evidence that flexibility plays a critical role in reducing stress—especially for caregivers and individuals with disabilities who benefit from remote work. So what’s broken? And more importantly, how do we fix it? On Work Sucks, But I Like It, Tony Tenaglier challenges the outdated definition of work as simply a “9-to-5 job.” Instead, he explores work through a broader lens—one inspired by physics: work as force multiplied by displacement. In other words, work is anything that creates movement, impact, or progress in your life. Tony is a materials science engineer, quality leader, author, rock climber, yoga teacher, Lego builder, and podcast host who thrives at the intersection of practical problem-solving and deep theoretical understanding. Whether improving casting processes, elevating quality systems, or helping teams navigate complex challenges, his approach blends hands-on experience with analytical rigor to drive meaningful, sustainable solutions. Grounded in the belief that “success isn’t a matter of luck—it’s the product of good skills, consistent effort, and the mindset you bring to every task,” Tony brings a philosophy to life: “How you do anything is how you do everything.” Beyond engineering, he is the author of two self-help books and uses this podcast as a platform to explore work, performance, identity, and what it really takes to build a fulfilling life. Drawing from psychology, yoga, and real-world experience, each episode is designed to help listeners pursue growth with clarity and purpose. With a background spanning engineering, quality management, psychology, and yoga, Tony is committed to designing systems—and a life—that work better. His work is grounded in continuous improvement, human behavior, and a drive to build environments where both people and processes thrive. At the core of his personal and professional philosophy is a simple idea: designing a life worth living. If you’re navigating burnout, questioning your relationship with work, or striving to build something more meaningful—this podcast is for you.   For more information: https://worksucksbutilikeit.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
