I bet you smelled very dedicated to your job, then.

That's such a kind way of putting it.

Not inaccurate, though, is it?

After everything I did for that job... Really puts it in perspective how worthless such dedication was.

Have you ever heard of competency porn?

... what little I know of porn and what I know of being competent aren't really providing any understanding of what that possibly means in conjunction, no.

It is not necessarily porn in the sexual sense - although it can be - it is more like when people on the internet post pictures of their food and call it food porn? When it is something that is very appealing and enjoyable to look at or think about or things like that.

You're competency porn. So the dedication may not have been recognized or appreciated in the moment, but it is not worthless.

Of course they don't actually mean competency, that is a low bar, they mean exceptionally skilled, but English... is a ridiculous language.
