from WND:
‘We admire the chutzpah it takes to say you deserve a job because of the vibe you bring’
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.
