A new report charges that Gen Z members want to be hired for their “personality,” their ability to “set the vibes” at a workplace, not their job skills.
And the ridicule is coming in by the boatload.
“We admire the chutzpah it takes to say, with a straight face, you deserve a job because of the ‘vibe’ you bring to the workplace and not, you know, the value [you] bring to your employer with your productivity,” explained a commentary at Twitchy.
The report on the demands comes from the New York Post.
Gen Z workers say they should be hired for their ‘personality,’ not productivity: We ‘set the vibes’ https://t.co/qmQYwHEseZ pic.twitter.com/jO62FzpRmX

The report bluntly told employers: “Forget the resume — Gen Z thinks you should hire them for their personalities. According to the youngest generation in the workforce, their humor and wit provides a certain vibrance older employees apparently lack.”
The Post explained, “They’ve even invented a term — ‘personality hire’ — to describe their self-perceived function in a corporate setting: to provide all the jokes, banter and playfulness needed in order to ‘set the vibes.'”
The report cited “TikToker” Bella Rose Mortel, 22, who calls herself a “chief vibes officer,” telling Business Insider about praise she’s gotten on her “energy.”
She’s posted videos online on the subject, and prompted a wave of comments about so-called “personality hires,” who feel their job is social, not work-related.
“I have accepted that I am hired to bring the energy, being the personality hire is really fun. I love lightening the mood,” one commenter said.
Another added, “I’m definitely the personality hire I never know what’s going on but I for sure can make everyone laugh.”
Twitchy introduced Gen Zers to what, for some, may be entirely new territory:
“Work is work. Yes, it can be fun. Yes, you can have great rapport with your colleagues. But it’s not a social hour. You are there to do a job, and do it well. Why do we have to explain this?”
It’s gonna be wild to watch the infrastructure absolutely collapse in this country 20 years from now

We turned over education to Marxists, and we’ve allowed them to produce an entire generation who have no understanding of reality.
This will not end well.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Shortly after Hamas terrorists fired over 5,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel on Oct. 7 and then proceeded to attack the Jewish state by land, sea and air – torturing, burning, beheading and murdering well over a thousand people, including women, children and infants, and wounding and abducting hundreds more – world reaction was, in its own way, almost equally shocking.
For after the biggest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust, what followed was an outpouring of celebratory demonstrations, unbridled Jew-hatred, deliriously gleeful support for Hamas and bitter condemnation of the nation of Israel. Not just in the Arab-Muslim world, but throughout the Western world as well, including all across America.
Why? What is behind the explosion of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, pro-terror sentiment in the United States, where Israel has long been one of America’s closest friends and allies? Why are hordes of young “woke” LGBT demonstrators marching in support of Hamas – when Hamas wouldn’t think twice about binding and blindfolding them and throwing them off the roof of a tall building – as they routinely do in the Muslim world?
It turns out there’s one area of agreement that is so powerful, deep-seated and all-consuming that the vast differences between the deranged left and the murderous jihadists melt away into Kumbaya harmony.
All of this and much more is completely exposed in November’s issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled ISRAEL VS. GLOBAL JIHAD: How Jew-hatred, radical Islam and Leftism are pushing us toward World War III. Beyond a deeply insightful dive into why leftists are surging toward radical Islam – which hates and dreams of raping and butchering them – this Whistleblower issue includes fantastic articles by everyone from top Israeli analyst (and former Israel Defense Forces officer) Caroline Glick to Harvest Christian Fellowship’s Pastor Greg Laurie on the current war in Israel and biblical prophecies regarding the End Times … which he says are now upon us.
WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
