What you have told us is rubbish.The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.
The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, «What is the tortoise standing on?»
«You’re very clever, young man, very clever», said the old lady. «But it’s turtles all the way down!»
People tend to cling to simple explanations for the phenomena they observe. It’s much easier to believe that the Earth is flat and resting on a turtle than to try to grasp modern cosmology. The same goes for understanding human motivation. There is an opinion (I would appreciate it if someone could point me to an authoritative source) that people can be divided into two categories. Some are oriented towards what is called the incoming flow, while others focus on the outgoing flow. In some immature minds, the word “flow” is accompanied by the adjective “monetary,” apparently for the sake of seriousness. Naturally, immature minds will be baffled when they are told that human motives emerged long before money. But let’s simply talk about “flows.” To ensure we are on the same cultural page, I will provide… link And I’ll quote the over-copied text that I found on the internet*:
Any “simple and all-explaining idea” is always tested for resilience by a question of the next level. A cosmological concept that includes a turtle is challenged by the question: “What is the turtle standing on?” A motivational concept of flows can also be easily dismantled with the question, “Why do people engage in these flows?” And if the answer is “just because,” then we might as well close up shop. More precisely, we won’t close it immediately, but before we do, we’ll ask: Is the orientation towards a particular flow an inherent property of a person? Can we devise a motivation for an “incoming” flow for the same “incoming” person who is passionately playing soccer after work with his amateur team? Or are there, within this doctrine, “incoming” flows when a person is engaged in their favorite activity, caring for their children, or crafting something?
And it turns out that the world is not flat. Here, in this place, a person is oriented towards the “incoming” flow, while in another place, they are focused on the “outgoing” flow. Wow, things are starting to crumble. So, his “flow” is a characteristic of his relationship with the employer, not just a trait of the individual? And if it is a characteristic of relationships, then people cannot be divided by their ability to “generate flows” before those relationships are established.
When they are established, it’s worth asking yourself many more questions about what the employer offers the employee and what the employee provides to the employer. It’s easy to come up with an excuse like, “People are like this, and I’m not to blame.” And, by the way, it’s quite convenient. But is it productive?

*Text of the quote:There is one more very important characteristic of a candidate that is relatively easy to determine: what type of “flow” they are oriented towards – “incoming” or “outgoing.” The “incoming flow” refers to salary, working conditions, benefits, etc. The “outgoing flow” refers to the results of their work: client contacts, signed contracts, manufactured parts, sent letters, completed purchases, delivered goods, and so on (in other words, what you are willing to pay the employee for).
