Time of Day

An idiom that refers to a baseline level of respect or empathy for another person. To "give someone the time of day" means you acknowledge them, while "not giving someone the time of day" implies that you think you're better than the other person and wouldn't even let them know what time it was if they asked, let alone talk or associate with them.

John wanted to date Susan, but she wouldn't even give him the time of day.

personality hire

Someone underqualified for a job but hired anyway purely because they have a great personality/attitude. Personality hires are often very low performers in terms of output but are brought on because of bias / attraction / an effort to boost morale. Someone who is a personality hire is essentially the opposite of someone with impostor syndrome.

Me showing up to my job, knowing I'm a personality hire who doesn't bring anything to the table, but hey at least I bring good vibes.
