That‘s entirely true, but my entire point is you cannot judge somebody as incompetent based on something they are not trying to achieve. You can say he‘s a bad president, makes sense because a good president serves his country. But you can’t say he is an incompetent one just because he has ulterior motives.

Competency in a job isn’t defined by what the individual wants, it’s defined by the job description.
That only works if you are trying to fulfill your job role. So would you say a quiet quitter is necessarily incompetent for example?
I’d say that a quiet quitter can be appraised against their job description. If they fulfill their role, they are competent by definition.
That’s the whole point.
