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.

Yesterday’s Trivia:

Indian Wells & Miami are the only other two ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 tournaments based in the US, along with the Cincinnati Open.

Carlos Alcaraz won yesterday after Jannick Sinner retired after losing the first 5 games. He mentioned that it was due to an illness, so I’m sure he’s looking to get healthy ahead of next week’s US Open.

On the women’s side, Iga Świątek beat Jessica Paolini in straight sets (7-5, 6-4)

Answered Correctly: 93%
