I would like to bring up a specific citation in this context. There was a Software Engineer who exhibited hard work and met all the expected goals and requirements for their position. However, due to external factors, they did not receive favorable ratings. Surprisingly, these ratings did not have any effect on the engineer's performance or any other aspect, as one would expect from a competent professional. The engineer possesses a clear-cut objective and remains highly focused on achieving their goals in terms of their work, continuous learning, and personal development.

Nonetheless, this incident did gravely demoralize and greatly affect the engineer as a human being, evident from their visible disappointment and anguish in the following days.

I observed a significant shift in his confidence after he was assigned new tasks and responsibilities that required him to acquire knowledge in unfamiliar technology and meet high expectations. Undertaking such challenges is never easy for an engineer, but he grew stronger, more focused, and began performing diligently. It dawned on me that he might have made a personal commitment to leave the past behind and fully embrace this opportunity. And now, eight months later, he has undeniably proven his potential and ability to learn and showcase his capabilities. He achieved impressive ratings and became recognized as one of our most valuable engineers, a fact acknowledged by everyone.
