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.
Hey {{first_name|bro}},
Have you ever scratched your skull wondering how people use their fingers to virtually assault the pink sphere in your head?
Well, today I’m going to poke my keyboard until you understand.
The way to get your readers to smell what you're farting out (with imagery) is by getting as detailed as a CIA agent would with a murder case about his kid.
You can’t have a speck of unspoken explanation left out from your page.
Your attention hostages need to fully grasp what you are trying to stick inside of their noggin.
that means you need to have someone who just found out there’s pubic hair in their pizza-like picture storytelling.
Alright, if I do another stupid imagery example, I’m going to blow my brains all over my glow-in-the-dark rainbow keyboard.
Just make sure you’re so specific your image sticks in their brain like honey.
See you later, alligator.
