I'd like to... | do everything if it's worth and necessary for achieving user/business goals | focus on my expertise and develop it more |
As for the performance evaluation, | I believe it's a "waste of time" to evaluate other humans correctly. Instead, we should focus on customers | I deserve to evaluate my bosses/colleagues/juniors correctly, and I deserve to be evaluated correctly too |
