Do you work harder to earn praise and recognition or to avoid criticism?

I work hard to make money

That's an excellent question. Well done.
Earn recognition.
If I screw up I'll take the blame.
If someone is criticizing just to be an ass, I'll tell them to stop.
But recognition and praise usually needs to be earned.

Neither - I'm not an attention seeker.

I work hard because I love what I do. And I'm free

I couldn't care less about those tbfh

Avoid criticism.

Neither.
