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}},
Wanna know one of the biggest warning signs that what you’re doing isn’t a good idea?
Let’s see if you can spot the pattern…
1937: The holocaust is going on and everyone (in some countries) is following and even fighting for the nazi’s.
16-1860: Everyone was trading, raping, killing, using, and making money off of black slaves (and they felt good about it)

If you guessed that everyone was doing it… you’re correct.
You can’t just do whateverone else is doing because you’re going to get what everyone else is getting.
Like for example…
I see a bunch of people sending out useless emails to random people.
And it never works.
(suprize surprise)
The reason it doesn’t work is because you’re just doing what everyone else is doing.
That’s why you need to figure it out yourself.
Tmr i’ll show you how to do that.
Peace
