"good at the job" is elusive and vaguely defined in most companies. They want you be a part of the company and get excited for the product and invest all of your focus in it. It's an unwritten rule but it's there. People who just do the job are not promoted and are looked down upon, in my experience. I wish it was just doing the job, it should be that way unless you are on commission or one of the owners *edit: assuming he did the job that is..
