To feel like a main character you have to feel "observed" by a reader.
This becomes interpersonal conflict when attention is zero-sum. When all employees depend on the corporation-as-observer the team dynamic can become toxic
However most people have other "observers" like parents, friends, twitter-community, God, etc...
Though they can generate feelings of love, acceptance, fame, oneness, etc... it is fairly difficult to transmute this effort into money to make a living so these stories are subservient to the money-attached one.
Newer generations don't have decentralized observers. Everyone is online so social just converges into performing for the "algorithm". Religion and other traditions feel out-of-touch with where the world is headed. etc...
Work ends up becoming the sole pillar that is supposed to hold up all these requirements. Partners & colleagues are expected to be Virtuous by serving the one true lord of light
