The flying game, even in the 21st century, is still a pretty small mafia.

I retired in 2006. At that time, I knew and swallowed ale with four of my old friends in the industry who were then currently Flight Ops Directors in UK airlines. I also had aviation friends in many other countries from Bangladesh to the USA.

Would it surprise anyone in this industry to realise that the professionals talks to one another in the pub?

Even in writing, such a phrase as this could be construed as unhelpful to your future career:

"When FO Bloggs turned up for work, the result was usually to a satisfactory standard".

If it is at all possible, try very hard to leave your present airline in as nice a way as is possible. You might want to go back there one day.
