It's an unwritten rule that in both CK2 and in CK3, you never want a vassal/courtier that has a really negative opinion to be your spymaster, as that is just asking to be killed.
But why only Spymaster?
Why shouldn't my brother, with claims on my lands, who I appointed as my Marshal try to use his position to try to weaken my army?
Why shouldn't a Chancellor try to actively sabotage my relationships with my Vassals?
Etc.
This could be done via events, where just like in regular events, if you have certain traits/high stats, you could avoid a really negative modifier in favor of a lighter one, get no negative effect, or maybe even get something positive.
Now, I know you will say that these events already exist. We have good Councilor events, and negative events (although you just get the modifiers, no choices involved). But those are associated with the Councilor's stats, not with their Opinion of you.
This would be a third set of events specifically for vassals that have a highly negative opinion of you.
