That's a good clarification, but to be honest, casually from a reader point of view, saying sufficiently good does seem to imply that skill is sufficient to get the job done, thus good enough for the job.

Which I mean, if you're good enough for the job, that would be a meet expectations review, which I'd say counts as "good".

So having said that, my experience is that people who aren't at least good enough to get the job done do eventually get fired or stop moving up the latter, even if they are super nice. At least in the software engineering field, don't know about business or management tracks.
