Point, set and match in any conversation on the subject, in my opinion. And very well stated.

Yes, report cards and employee evaluations should never be spoken of. Honest assessment of your current situation and how you arrived there is frowned upon. That's hilarious. It's not "anguish" or a "pointless self-misery exercise." It's evaluating where you stand at the current time on a trade that was made. It's assessing where you are in terms of ROI. You know, real world $#!+.

Wrong. Read it again. What he's saying is that how the other team benefits has no bearing on your situation, so it's pointless to worry about it.

Exactly. "Where you stand" has nothing to do with the other team. Analyzing from that POV is 100% loser mentality.
