I don’t quite believe this, but since I quit my last position and started my new one within the same hospital system, I’ve been offered 2 positions: OR and Radiology.
OR is interesting because they work with so many active ingredients, they monitor patients constantly, they get to interpret ECG and electrolyte imbalances. You can learn and work with cool stuff.
Most of the coworkers there are mature: they do their job, they explain the rationale, they teach me stuff. I like it.
There are 2 childish gossips incapable of shutting their mouths to talk about the most inane stuff thinkable. I like using downtime to learn, not to talk about boring stuff. These kind of people have always wasted my time and energy.
This is what I wanted to tell the charge: I see a future with you, only if these 2 people do not take part in my orientation (3 to 6 months) and if during downtime they do not pester me with inane stuff, but let me learn. I do not talk about my private life at work, I’m on the introverted side and when people force me to talk to them it drains me. I’ve worked at units where managers promised a genuine and serious orientation, but the staff were more focused on gossip than on teaching me. I don’t need that. I want to be around people who take orientation as seriously as I do.
Radiology would be similar I guess.
reasons to say yes: you do you, you tell them what they need to provide so you can excel at your job.
reasons to say no: I become the asshole, as I’d be breaking the peace.

So right up front, you want to inform your supervisors that you won’t work with two of the long-established members of your new department because they don’t meet your personal interaction standards? And you think that’s going to go well for you?
If someone came to me with that demand before even starting the job, I’d breathe a sigh of relief that we discovered their weirdness before it was too late, and choose another candidate for the job.
Welcome to the working world! You don’t get to choose who you work with, you just have to make the best of it. If you need this job for advancement, then focus on that, and put up with whatever else goes with it, like EVERYBODY ELSE. Who told you that you could go through life without the minor inconvenience of having to deal with conflicting personalities? This is Real Life, you don’t get some protective bubble from the icky, inconvenient parts.

This.
In an ideal world everyone could have a sit down and talk about how to interact with each other so that everyone’s happy. In the real world yes it would be “you aren’t even working here yet and you’re already causing me problems? No thanks”

As a business owner, I can even predict the immediate outcome of rejecting OP. They would come to me, and say “Why did they get the job? I thought it was mine.”
“Well, you indicated that if you took the job, you wouldn’t be able to work with members of the team, so we chose someone who could. Maybe you’ll be a better fit for the next one.” And then they’d never be offered another promotion.
Ultimatums like “It’s them or me,” seldom work out well for the issuer.

You sound confused. You should show this chat to your boss, ask their opinion.

This is gen z in a nutshell. Telling management how they will be managed.
I’m all for tearing down walls and rebuilding institutions, but wait your turn. Wait until you understand something of it. It’s unlikely a business can run only on the people you like.

I have a history degree and I live in MAGA America. Damn right I’m angry.
But this isn’t about me, and it doesn’t have anything to do with your ridiculously entitled attitude, and your hilarious defense of it.
