performance

The word centers on the concept of 'bringing something into being' or 'executing a standard.' It shifts from an artistic spectacle to a technical measurement depending on the context. In an artistic sense, it suggests a public display where skill is showcased for an audience. There is often a connotation of effort and presentation. In professional or technical contexts, it refers to efficacy and output. Unlike 'work' (which describes the activity), 'performance' focuses on the quality and result of that activity. It is the metric by which success is judged. In legal terms, it is sterile and precise, referring simply to whether a requirement was met or an obligation discharged.

Nah, he's chill. I think I'm flying under the radar.

Maya uses 'trash' as a slang adjective for 'very poor' to criticize Ryan's work efficiency (performance). Ryan responds with the idiom 'flying under the radar', meaning he is avoiding notice or scrutiny despite his poor work quality.
