Yes, and speaking to quality in this case is not about individual performances, it’s about overall quality of outcome. Are you familiar with Pareto?
Stop fixating on Janice in accounting scrolling facebook and how you feel slighted by her or Derek in operations who shows up 30 minutes late to meetings. The bigger machine on government side works most of the time, with transparent accountability, on that side, in the case of insurance, it emotionlessly kills people for profit on the other.
I’m focused on outcomes. I just think individual performance contributes to those overall outcomes.
I’ve seen millions in wasted IT equipment that never got used due to incompetence. Old ass equipment that sticks around far past its expiration which turns into an emergency to replace when it finally starts breaking hard.

As you grow, you’ll learn to focus on broad strategy and not get lost in fixation on individual tactics.

I’ve seen far less of that in the private sector.
