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.
🎙️Welcome to the 358th edition of Find That Pod 🎙️
For the past 358 weeks, I’ve been telling you all about the podcasts I think you should give a listen to. And today, I’m telling you about mine: Talk That Pod.
Talk That Pod is a podcast about storytellers, creators, entertainers, entrepreneurs, journalists, artists, and podcasters. Each episode features a podcaster that has been honing their craft, in many cases for year, answering questions like… what does it really take to build a podcast people can’t stop listening to? How do these audio entrepreneurs drive growth for their podcasts? How do they feel their podcast fits into the audio landscape and society more broadly?
If you’re passionate about the power of audio, as a creator, a listener, or both, this is the podcast for you.
