1. "Of course, a on-off switch, but it’s more like a spectrum:" ["it's not an on-off switch"]
2. "You only truly assess people when they need nothing from you, and when they have power, more on it later) [missing opening "(" and closing "."]
3. "For example, the mindset of the jaded and inverate" ["inveterate"]
4. "And then disappearing or turning cold or even rude when they don’t you need anymore." ["don't need you"]
5. "Taking in area spills over any other area" ["in an area"]
6. "their taking may be limited to coming across as rude, but not in cheating, stealing" ["not extend to"]
7. "STill, we generally stay from catch-all rules" ["Still"]
8. "For example, if you can tie down a taker to make sure that your interest align with him" ["interests", "his"]

Eye-opening.

I now understand the most likely reason why those colleagues turned on me: they simply got that I was gaining more than them from our relationship and sought to turn the tables.

On "see how they behave when they have power": often the taking increases after a bond has been officialized. Meaning, these people are initially more giving, but as soon as they tie you down (eg: you sign the partnership agreement; you marry them or their relative; you have a child with them or their relative; you jointly buy the house) then all bets are off.

Some even try to create artificial bonds to this aim. Eg: a "taker father" proposing to his adult son to give him all the son's money for him to manage; a "taker businessman" letting a fellow businessman be appointed in a high-visibility, high-paying role in a client company, and then using this leverage - and the threat of removal - to start taking from his colleague as much as possible from then on.

3. under the second quiz: "We review this scene again to make a point: The social exchange permeates all of our social relationships. Consider this a micro-lesson as well. Let’s watch Michael Corleone meeting Joe Greene:" ["the", "Moe"]
4. under the second quiz: "There is a frame battle that has its root son the social exchange."
5. in the second quiz boxes: "Mo" instead of "Moe" across the texts

The explanation on the "thank you dynamics" is very helpful, I can now address this better.
