>> just settling at a 100% output level is a great way to get identified as a slacker

Agreed. But I think the OP first needs to touch 100-110 and that in turn can cause him to either start enjoying the job (extrinsic motivation) or given his credentials be able to find a new gig before he is shown the door. He must take note from this important point you raise that he has a good enough runway as opposed to an infinite one!

>> As a manager, I've cut many 100%s. As a manager, I hope that you have given those 100%s, some course correction options and opportunity. Not being judgmental at all, so apologize if it comes across as like that.
