PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
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.

Today is the grand re-opening of a Nashville favorite in Zoolumination. This is the largest Chinese lantern festival in the United States, featuring over 1000 lanterns. Tickets are $25 for adults and $21 for kids. You can also purchase a platinum pass for unlimited visits.
