Thanks for your response. However, this type of moral high ground argument makes very little sense to me.

My job(s) aren't the source of my happiness and self satisfaction. I have a family and hobbies outside of work. My work simply funds my real life. I don't feel a need to be good at my job.

If anything, it sounds like tying your happiness to being "objectively good" at your job is a potentially dangerous mindset. If my superiors/reviewers think I'm "subjectively good" at my work and reward me for it, what does it matter if I'm not "objectively good". (Also, "objectively good" is subjective)
