Let’s be real. Work can be glorious and gutting, hilarious and humbling, exhausting and exhilarating... all before your second coffee. Hosted by Calli Adamson Bakken and Toby Kheng , Work Sucks is the podcast that asks the same seven questions to different guests each week, in search of the true highlight reel (and blooper reel) of modern work. This isn’t a corporate love letter or a burnout badge-fest. It’s reflective, funny, sad, disappointing, awkward, and occasionally a bit beautiful. Just like work itself. We talk about the wins, the weirdness, and the “what am I even doing here?” moments that define our careers and shape our lives. Whether you love your job, loathe it, or are just trying to not cry on Zoom again, Work Sucks is here to remind you: you’re not alone, you’re not broken.
