Short transcript excerpt from a Codie Sanchez YouTube video in which an unemployed speaker says she’s been jobless for eight months and worries that ‘energy’ (vibe) got people fired. Codie Sanchez rebukes the speaker’s self-labeling, warns that ‘energy’ hires won’t survive a recession, and cautions that posting such content online can harm future hiring because the internet is permanent.

I'm unemployed, and it's been eight full months, and I don't think I'm ever going to get a job because I just had a conversation with a woman who lost her job today because the CEO didn't like her energy. And I have to tell you something. The only thing I have going for me in this world is my energy. People tell me, oh, you have such good energy of such good vibe. And I thought that was a great thing. And I was like, look at me go. A little personality hire over here. But now people are losing their jobs because of energy.
All right, guys, first of all, don't label yourself unemployed girly and announce you've been unemployed for eight months. You are literally labeling yourself the thing that you do not want to be. Second, if your energy is what you bring to a job, you ain't going to make it in a recession. People need workers, not vibes. Vibes were 2021-2023. Now we work. Third, young people, don't put this on the Internet. Some boss is going to watch this and go, yeah, I'm not going to hire you. Internet is forever, brat. Summer is. For once, keep that to yourself.
