The best HR advice comes from people who’ve been in the trenches.
That’s what this newsletter delivers.
I Hate it Here is your insider’s guide to surviving and thriving in HR, from someone who’s been there. It’s not about theory or buzzwords — it’s about practical, real-world advice for navigating everything from tricky managers to messy policies.
Every newsletter is written by Hebba Youssef — a Chief People Officer who’s seen it all and is here to share what actually works (and what doesn’t). We’re talking real talk, real strategies, and real support — all with a side of humor to keep you sane.
Because HR shouldn’t feel like a thankless job. And you shouldn’t feel alone in it.
Peppermint is a sharp, clean interruption. It clears the palate and hits the reset button on your senses, making everything feel slightly sharper, cooler, and brighter.
Breathe in sharply through your mouth to feel the cooling sensation hit the back of your throat.
Peppermint, spearmint, or wintergreen?
Until tomorrow, keep pausing, reflecting, and connecting.
