The commonly used phrase "fairly well" indicates an average or satisfactory level of performance. However, if we are looking for antonyms, we could use words like poorly, inefficiently, insufficiently, badly or unfavorably. Each of these alternatives describes a different degree of mediocrity, deficiency or inadequacy in terms of what is expected. For example, if you say someone does something poorly, it implies that they lack the skills or experience necessary to perform at a high level. Similarly, if something works inefficiently, it means that it's not performing to the best of its abilities. Hence, we can use these antonyms to express a negative and opposite meaning of "fairly well".
