An American woman is causing a stir on TikTok.
She believes that a good atmosphere at work is more important than productivity.
Poor workplace climate, for which there are several signs, occurs in many companies.
Different generations with different views of the job often come together in companies.
The younger generation in particular - the so-called Gen Z - seems to be of the opinion that, in addition to the performance, a good atmosphere at work is just as important.
At least if you believe 22-year-old Bella Rose Mortel.
The Corporate America employee sees herself as the “Chief Vibes Officer” – the boss of the good vibes, so to speak.
“Personality comes before productivity.”
TikTok clips about being in a good mood at work are going viral
The social media expert told Business
Insider
that her boss at the software company Beehiiv said to her in a team meeting: "Before we get started, Bella Rose, would you like to set the mood for our meeting today?" All of her previous bosses have theirs have appreciated the special energy so far, explains Mortel.
A term has even been invented for people like Mortel: “Personality hire”.
This means that some employees provide all the jokes, banter and playfulness needed to lighten the mood in the workplace.
At least that's how the New York Post
describes it
.
Under Mortel's video on TikTok, which has already been played over 870,000 times, there are numerous comments in which the young woman is supported.
One viewer writes: “I've come to terms with the fact that I was hired to spread energy and that being a personality is actually fun.
I love to lighten the mood.” Another says: “I agree with you!
People are too serious.”

Other users seem to be a little more skeptical about the topic: “It will be so crazy if Gen Z leads the companies one day,” writes one woman.
Another TikTok user asks himself how this work attitude is affecting the success of the company: “Fun meetings don’t pay the bills, or am I mistaken?” However, the majority of the users – mostly of the same age – support Mortel with their views .
Recently, another young woman also inspired people on TikTok – with an ingenious trick for working from home.
