.htaccess how to redirect domain except for home page & subdirectory

Question

From this answer on how to redirect a domain except for a subdirectory, and this answer on how to redirect a domain except for the homepage, I have ended up with the following in .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?this\.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^support !^directory-1 !^directory-2 (.+) https://www.this2.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,NC,R=301,L]
</IfModule>

However, this.example.com/work is not redirecting to www.this2.com/work.

Help appreciated.

Update, from anubhava's answer, this is my new .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^doig\.website\.technology$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^($|support|dynamic-keyword-module-drupal8|dynamic-keyword-plugin-joomla) https://www.webby.net.au%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,NC,R=301,L]
</IfModule>

However, https://doig.website.technology/my-work/ is not redirecting.

Update 2: this is my full .htaccess:

# Redirects
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^doig\.website\.technology$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^($|support|dynamic-keyword-module-drupal8|dynamic-keyword-plugin-joomla|wp-content|wp-includes|wp-admin) https://www.webby.net.au%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,NC,R=301,L]

You may use this rule with corrected syntax of consitions:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^doig\.website\.technology$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/(min|support|dynamic-keyword-module-drupal8|dynamic-keyword-plugin-joomla|wp-content|wp-includes|wp-admin)/ [NC]
RewriteRule . https://www.webby.net.au%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]

Thanks anubhava, I've tried that with no luck, see the edit to my question please. – Steve Jul 07 '19 at 11:50
Do you have other rules in your htacceas? – anubhava Jul 07 '19 at 13:05
`/my-work/` does not have a separate `.htaccess`. I've updated my question with the full `.htaccess`. Thanks. – Steve Jul 14 '19 at 09:03
I notice the solution works when I moved your rules to the top of `.htaccess`. However, `https://doig.website.technology/` is missing style sheets, even though I have excluded `/wp-content/` & `/wp-includes`/ from the redirect in `.htaccess`. – Steve Jul 14 '19 at 09:09
Problem is links like `https://doig.website.technology/min/932c2.css` that get redirected to `https://www.webby.net.au/min/932c2.css` and return 404 – anubhava Jul 14 '19 at 09:29
