Well the grandparent disagrees with those evaluations. I have no opinion. My point is, there's a difference between deserving a job the most and being the best candidate for it. Whether someone has "earned" a job on a moral level should not be the only factor in hiring them. I am also surprised you decided to take your supervisor's motivational comment so literally.
