I WORK IN HR: How to Survive HR with Real Tools, Tough Conversations, and the HR Survival Guide You Wish You Had on Day One

This is the book I needed when I started – and the one I kept searching for but never found. So I said f*ck it, and wrote it myself. This isn’t another corporate HR book full of buzzwords and fake scenarios. I Work In HR was written by someone who’s actually lived it, messed up, figured it out the hard way – and is handing you everything that actually worked. If you’ve ever walked out of a meeting, closed the door, and stared at the wall like “What even is this job?” – this book is for you. You won’t find this one in your onboarding binder – and that’s exactly the point. It’s the one you keep in your bag, highlight like a Bible, and pull out when sh*t gets weird. Inside you’ll get: HR moments that test you. Breakdowns of real scenarios, the (sometimes painfully flawed) decisions I made in the moment, and the strategies that came out of them – now handed to you, so you don’t have to learn the hard way. Word-for-word scripts and calm ‘clap-backs’ for when your professionalism is hanging on by a thread. Tools to create real impact – The kind that shifts conversations, builds credibility, and helps you create the kind of impact people remember. How to actually have the hard conversations: Not just talk through them, but create a turning point, fix what’s broken, and walk away with something that works. The highlight-it, memorize-it, mutter-it-to-yourself-in-the-hallway kind of lessons – because HR doesn’t come with cheat codes... but this is close. Quick-reference pages filled with high-impact phrasing, customizable templates I couldn’t do my job without (seriously), and a discreet note-coding system designed so only you can understand them. You’re not just getting info – you’re getting lived-through, cussed-at, cried-over experience. The kind built from facepalm moments, gut punches, tough feedback, the people who remind you why you do this… and a whole lot of ‘welp, never doing that again’ moments… all flipped into tools that won’t collect dust on a shelf – because you’ll actually reach for them. If you’re in HR, thinking about HR, or accidentally became the “HR person” without warning - this book’s for you. Real talk. Real tools. Real HR.
