The free newsletter making HR less lonely

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.

❌Teams spend their days stitching systems together, exporting CSVs, and fixing faulty integrations.

❌Leaders are forced to run their business on a patchwork of incomplete data.

It doesn’t have to be this way — but it’s only possible with a unified system of record. That’s exactly what Rippling was built for from day one.
