		senorjazz on June 20, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Slack Is Going Public at a $16B Valuation What does "well deserved" even mean? Does it just mean not evading your privacy to generate income via ads? Does it mean not being too aggressive / abusive of customers? Personally, I would just call that normal / decent behaviour. Alone, it doesn't mean you deserve a ridiculous billion dollar evaluation

"Decent behavior" describes the process.

"Well deserved" describes the outcome.

So you might say the outcome is well deserved only if decent behavior comprised the process.
