Hi there,
My name is Hebba Youssef. I write I Hate It Here, and I’ve been in the HR/People Ops trenches for over a decade. I’m a Chief People Officer, a coffee enthusiast, and someone who will not stop talking about everything that’s broken in HR until we actually fix it.
You’re here because HR Jolt is closing its doors, and I wanted to personally welcome you to I Hate It Here.
This newsletter is where HR and People leaders come when they’re tired of the same recycled advice and want someone to just say the thing. 170,000+ of us are in this together.
Here are a few examples of what you’ll be getting:
- Why your engagement survey is lying to you (and what to do instead)
- Real talk on manager enablement when you’re a team of 1
-
Comp strategy breakdowns that don’t require an MBA to understand
- The stuff you’re secretly thinking about HR but can’t say out loud at work
No filler. No corporate jargon. Just tactical, full-stack resources for People leaders who are doing too much with too little and need to get things done quickly and right.
I write for the Head of People who inherited a mess and has to clean it up by yesterday. The HR Director running a team of 1 at a Series B startup. The VP of People Ops who needs a real framework, not a LinkedIn platitude. The CPO who just wants to feel seen for 5 minutes.
If you valued HR Jolt for keeping you in the loop, I think you’ll find a home here.
You don’t need to do anything to keep receiving the newsletter. If it’s not for you, you can unsubscribe at any time. But all I ask is that you give me one chance, because I got you.
I read all replies to this email. If you have any questions for me, hit reply and ask away.
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here, and I’ll see you every week.
Hebba
